Australia 2007, 108 minutes
Dir. Matthew Saville
Genres: Suspense/Crime, Drama / Policier, Film Noir
Feat. Brendan Cowell, Maia Thomas
Aroview: An impressive Australian modern 'noir', refreshingly off-centred around a hearing-afflicted cop who is assigned the night shift at a police caravan during a slipshod murder investigation.
While his script pushes the occupational-hazard aspect of law enforcement, dir. Matthew Saville's strongest suit is his visual language, through which he creates a formidable sense of dread around the inscrutable, unusual presense of lead actor Brendan Cowell. Though not quite delivering the pay-off it promises, and perhaps even losing itself in its own ominous shadows, this is still a brilliantly assured debut that intrigues in the best sense of the term.

4 stars (Very Good) Surprisingly good slow burning Australian cop thriller. Superb camera work. Lots of excellent character acting. A little slow in places; could have been tightened up a bit. ~Anon
4 stars (Very Good) Different. ~Tubbs
