I saw it by accident: its first week.
A noble idea got destroyed by poor scripting and politically-correct casting. Its big merit was the filming, Australian bush landscapes, but even those scenes had to be moody dull. There was far too much intertwining of timelines and unexplained lines. What body was found? Whose son found the body found by someone else. The lone wolf federal investigator was a Hollywood cliche, as were the classic eyeball confrontation scenes with the notional hero vs the police chief.
What stood out? Debra LF as Jill: an incongruous character in the plot, and with a mismatched husband, but still a great performance.
Do what I did: see it at a theatre which lets you brin in wine in a glass.
