Ratings and reviews

For an Aussie film, this is a decent thriller. I've seen a few US movies recently that were so cliche I had to turn them off, but this kept my attention all the way through. Jonathan Lapaglia gives a quality performance. Luke Hemsworth (another Hemsworth?!) is pretty good too, although would have liked to see more of his story in the film. I'm a fan of Viva Bianca too, she was in X with the young girl and also Scorned, which is quite good. Worth seeing.

was good, lots of twists and turns, is well acted etc music is great...like any film its got a few flaws but overall i was impressed

A very simple story with very weak characters. Stuff happens, it's just nothing overly worth putting into a movie.
