From Netflix:
This Australian outback thriller brings together the classic film noir ingredients when a man’s cross-country drive is diverted by car trouble. Soon after, he witnesses a spectacular car crash that includes one survivor and a money-stuffed suitcase.
By accident I found this Australian gem that just never lets go.
None of the actors are familiar to me, but all are excellent, especially the trio:
- David Lyons as Colin. Colin arrives on scene with car trouble, the mere beginning of his troubles. Colin is an honest man accidentally up against the rest of the trio.
- Emma Booth as Jina is unhappily married to the local sheriff.
- Jason Clarke as Frank the sheriff is a jealous man with a vicious, homicidal temper.
We are NOT talking about a love triangle. Colin honestly returns the suitcase of money to the sheriff which is when Colin’s troubles really begin. Proceed from there through drug dealers, fighting, murder, bodies dumped in a mine, deception, and a satisfying final set of clever plot twists.
Don’t miss this lucky find!
