Synopsis
"Jack Irish: Dead Point" (2014) is an Australian crime TV film you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Geoffrey Walker. Guy Pearce plays Jack Irish, a former criminal lawyer whose wife was shot by one of his own clients. He's rebuilt something — not his old life, but a functional substitute: collecting debts for horse-racing operator Harry Strang, learning furniture-making in Charlie Taub's workshop, and anchoring himself at the Prince of Prussia pub, where his late father is still spoken of with respect.
A judge's commission to find a mysterious red book pulls him back into something much uglier: club owners, drug dealers and killers. Pearce plays Jack at a constant low simmer — a man who holds himself together through routine and knows exactly what happens if the routine breaks. Aaron Pedersen, Deborah Mailman and Vince Colosimo round out a strong ensemble in a Melbourne-set noir that earns its atmosphere through character rather than set pieces.
