Tom Selleck plays Matthew Quigley, the cowboy hero in this traditional Western, set very untraditionally in Australia. After some macho silliness in the opening minutes, the story settles into a surprisingly evocative tale of Quigley, a sharpshooter who had come to the country to work for a land baron (Alan Rickman) and who is on the mend after a brutal attack. In the company of a woman (Laura San Giacomo) abused by that same baron, Quigley gets his strength and his shooting skills back while healing in the midst of aboriginal people as well as some stunning Australian settings.Director Simon Wincer (Phar Lap) brings a lot of integrity to this rare horse opera from contemporary Hollywood. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - MATTHEW QUIGLEY ISA COWBOY HERO, AND CORA'S ROY!
This is my favorite Tom Selleck movie! I just loved this movie so much! Tom Selleck (Matthew Quigley) is my handsome cowboy hero! Matthew Quigley travels from America to Austrialia to work on the Marston Ranch to hunt and kill wild, dangerous dogs(dingos). At least that is what he thought that he was hired for, but Marston (the ranch owner) had other plans! This is a very good outstanding western, with great shooting, and fight scenes!

Matthew also helps save, a very pretty american ... Read More
Rating: - A Memorable Western, Eh Mate?
This is a bit a twist: a western in which the setting is Australia, not the United States. Yet, the film features two American characters, played by Tom Selleck and Laura San Giacomo. It's a simple, well-done revenge story with a nice slow-developing romance as the subplot. Meanhile, Alan Rickman, who was good at this sort of thing, plays the hated, despicable villain.

The movie is appealing because it has a good mixture of action (and that is mixed, too, not just the same kind of fistfights ... Read More

Quigley Down Under is a story with love and conflict - the human story. Hard times are made easier with humor. Tom Selleck is The Cowboy. Alan Rickman as always, gives an excellent performance. Australia is a beautiful co star.

Rating: - Quigley Down Under
As the title indicates the story tales place in Australia probably in the late 1800s.Selleck is hired by the owner of a big ranch and when he gets there he finds that his duties are to do in the aboriginies in the area.Well, Selleck does'nt think much of that so Tom sides with the aboriginies against the rancher.
Good things happen and there is a lot of feel good humor involved also.
Get it,you'll like it.
