Hugo Weaving, Tony Martin, Aaron Jeffery

It's hard to describe the opening scenes of The Interview without using the word "Kafka-esque," so let's just get that out of the way and focus on this truly wonderful Aussie suspense flick. Hu...( read more  read more... )go Weaving, best known in the U.S. for his roles in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and The Matrix, plays Fleming, an Everyman who is rudely awakened one morning when the police burst into his house. Fleming is roughed up, refused food, and interrogated about an unspecified offense. "Oh," you might say, "one of those." But just when you think you've got a handle on it, The Interview slips away and becomes something else again. To reveal any more would be to ruin the pleasure of watching a beautifully crafted script unfold. In addition to a fascinating plot and clever dialogue, The Interview boasts superb performances by Weaving and Tony Martin as Steele, Fleming's chief interrogator. Grab a copy and impress your friends with the little-known gem you've discovered. --Ali Davis

    One of my favourite Australian films. Stylish, twisty and compelling, with knockout performances.

    It's absolutely best movie where nothing happens. It's purely dialogue driven and it's never dull. Hugo Weaving is brilliant as always, many twists and turns. It'll keep you guessing right up to the end.
