A solid Australian thriller that just misses the mark of being a really great one.
The plot is basically The Hangover without the funny. The same thing could be said about The Hangover 2 I guess.
It´s always a fine balancing act when it comes to this kind of thriller. How much should it reveal, to keep us interested? This one decides to keep its cards close, only revealing very little in flashbacks. And I do think for me personally, that its structure ended up being a bit distractive. You end up spending a lot of time wondering what happened, instead of paying attention to what's happening. Maybe that´s just me?
But there´s a lot to enjoy here, especially Joel Edgerton is worth mentioning. He´s slowly becoming an actor I´ll watch in pretty much anything he does.

Beautifully shot and emotional Australian drama featuring some powerful performances from the principle cast. Well worth a watch.

Another solid (and dark) Australian drama. Middle of the road compared to some of the great stuff that's been coming out there recently, but still worth a watch, if only for the performances.

Opens very well – manages to create a real sense of unease and menace. But thereafter, nobody really behaves in a predictably human way, and so it's impossible to believe how it all unfolds. Some good performances though.

A pretty intense and heavy film. Im still not sure if i actually liked it, but it did have an affect on me. You end up feeling quite sorry for the characters and the situations they have ended up in, and i found myself relating to them from times when i myself have really screwed up.

Ultimately, despite the strong emotion running through this film it doesn't really seem to have much of a point to make, and this means the film ends in a bit of a lacklustre way. Still, a worthwhile film overall and a nice break away from the usual crap Australian dramas that often comes out.

Thoroughtly enjoyable thriller from Australia.

Four people take a holiday to Cambodia but only three return, we're then treated to a cleverly unfolding set of events and flashbacks...

Dark, smart and and keeps you in the game right until the end.
Probably my favourite Australian film of all time now. The performances are all excellent and it looks great too.

Well worth your time people.

This is another solid Australian drama that follows a line of recent quality films like 'Animal Kingdom', 'Snowtown' and 'The Square'. It has a disjointed structure but one that works well especially as 2 key pieces of drama unfold in unison. The story might not be groundbreaking but it's gritty, well made and has good performances.

A stunning film on all accounts. An utterly intense, absorbing and emotional piece of cinema. Probably the best Oz film I have experienced since 'Lantana'.

This was a decent Australian drama, with solid performances all round. I felt the back and forth narrative structure was essential in telling this story, slowly revealing plot threads that build to a great final act.

I thought this was an average movie and had some interesting stuff and i really lliked the story but i hated the story boucing back and forth and some stuff i didn tunderstand but the acting was great.

Unfortunately the film suffers from not been really sure what it wants to be, which storyline to go with and where to take the audience. The final third is gripping, just a shame none of the previous moments were. Joel Edgerton deserves a better film.
