The life of Andrew Fraser, one of the most scandalous characters of the modern Australian history, was just asking for describing it on the pages of books.
A fabulous rise of a clever, enterprising lawyer in the peak of his career, the most
horrific clients and the most high-profile criminal procedure of three decades, the largest fees, envied by competitors and heavy authority a bit of cocaine, much cocaine not a day without a thousand dollar-a-day dose of cocaine... drug pushing... the crushing exposure... the full crush of his career... crush of financial success and his private life... the verdict...the cage of high security...psychopaths and serial killers, ready to kill their cellmate with his own toothbrush...all the pleasures of corrupt jail system.. Zero Hour and recognizing of all the depth of abyss before him...struggle for life...struggle for the rests of his reputation...return to life?...return of the reputation?...at any case, an attempt, deserving all the respect....Well, this life is worthy not only to be described in books, it is worthy for the screen!
The most pretentious and expected project of the year on the Australian TV1, "Killing Time", stakes on the vigorous drama of a real story, its social-psychological sharpness, the burning plot and charisma of its character and his screen image. And again, evading his mature rivals, David got a desired prize a significant, strikingly difficult and extraordinary role. For quite a long while he didnТt feel such an inspiration, sharing his emotions with journalists before shooting.
