As an Australian I'm familiar with this awful abduction case in Queensland where a young boy was waiting for a bus, one failed to stop for him and he was never seen again. The bus driver who failed to stop must be feeling terrible. The film starts well and ends well but there is at least 30 minutes of filler in the middle that was nonsense that could've been discarded to make a tighter film. I almost turned off as it was so annoying. Great acting by the two lead characters let down by a poor script that meandered all over the place. A lot of the under cover stuff seemed to go nowhere and became very peripheral to the case.
