    An all-star Australian cast work this wonderfully scripted drama to its full extent. What starts of as a complex drama soon turns into that of a crime drama. It is to the films credit that the evolution of genres is handled rather well and goes mostly unnoticed. The film relies m...( read more)ore on subtle hints to the past of the characters, and even leaves us with an ending that needs some thinking about. This may not be to everyone's liking but it really does make it a more involving piece. It's gorgeously shot, with lighting used coming off as something other-worldly with great beams shining down from street lights and headlights. A great drama that doesn't quite have a conclusion that the film hints towards earlier on.

    Great performances raise this Australian tale of the struggle to move on and what to keep from your past, above the norm.

    Not quite what I was expectiing from this film. The acting was fine, Cate Blanchett was very good, but the story was a little stretched out and there wasn't many high points to accomodate the low points

    Better than I had expected, a little drawn out though.

    I liked it cos it was filmed in my local city, like 2-3 km away from my house, and that's awesome. I really can't believe the lead actor(s) from the succesful films like Lord of the rings, Matrix, V for Vendetta, The Ring, Jurassic Park, Aviator, Bandits etc were actually in my ...( read more)town!

    The pacing is a bit slow, takes away from an otherwise good tale
  • February 22, 2009
    The acting was fabulous and the storyline was amazing but the majority of the movie was such a slow tempo and I had a really hard time keeping my eyes focused on the movie during the 1 hour and 49 minutes it was running because there wasn't that much happening really and therefor...( read more)e I had a hard time comprehending the movie at all!

    It was nice to see Dustin Nguyen. I hadn't seen him since 21 Jumpstreet. He's just as hot as ever.
