One critic, either bought off or a fellow Australian eager to promote any Australian film, actually compared this to Oldboy. See that instead; avoid this film.
It's your basic revenge film with no surprises, and even the point of the revenge is questionable making it a weak morality play, too. The only reason I didn't rate this 1 of 10 is that the acting and technical aspects of the film are Hollywood quality. That said, the story is not.
The plot and story have some obvious flaws. So in addition to knowing where the film is going and how it will end, it makes up some ridiculous situations, presumably in an attempt to add thrills and suspense. Instead, it just makes it longer.
