Three Blind Mice is a film about three Australian Navy officers. The night before they are to be shipped off to war, Sam considers going AWOL, Dean plans to meet his future in-laws and Harry plays cards. During the course of one wild night in Sydney, the three sailors "lose each other, find themselves, and along the way discover courage, friendship and redemption."SXSW: Three Blind MiceOverview
Review Quotes
- "Misogyny and racism are played for dark laughs, but despite a last-minute nod to The Caine Mutiny, pic lacks the moral center needed to justify its tone of juvenile outrageousness. Other than the superb Jackie Weaver as Sam's mother, the actors often seem to be skillfully responding to improv switcheroos. Helming is equally erratic."Variety: Review: Three Blind Mice (July 16, 2008)
