Watched this great Australian movie last night. In bed, in the dark, on my Creative Zen XFi2 like a sneaky teenager. It may have been this viewing situation that heightened the experience, but when the final scene ended, I lay there frozen (probably with my mouth slightly ajar), letting the credits wash over me.
A gripping, gritty crime drama with moments of paralysing tension. The young lead James Frecheville was astounding as the teenager clearly out of his depth, who comes to realise the degree of cunning he must employ to stay afloat. His stillness was perfect and served to strengthen the impact of his raw emotion (when it eventually surfaced).
Jackie Weaver as the machiavellian, poisonous matriarch was superb as was Ben Mendelsohn with his finest work to date.
