Ihaka: Blunt Instrument should be a lot more fun than it is. Producer Ian
Bradley (of The Flying Doctors, Prisoner, and The Great Bookie Robbery) thought
New Zealand writer Paul Thomas's script might create something of an antipodean
Beverly Hills Cop. Well, it doesn't quite get there... More convincing is Nine's 18th Halifax fp telemovie A Hate Worse Than Death.
But once again, though writer Roger Simpson knows how to play masterfully with
the nuances of Gibney's forensic psychiatrist, it's a dream trip for another
guest star.
