THE STORY:
The duplicity of right and wrong is highlighted in this moody psychological police drama when an accident evokes conflicting responses from each of the people concerned.
TOP THREE PERFORMANCES:
1. Tom Wilkinson. His old-school senior detective is charismatic, convincing, and always endearing despite his questionable ethics.
2. Joel Edgerton. His confused and arrogant cop is compelling in his failing efforts to do what he knows is right.
3. Melissa George. Her empathetic and emotional mother shines in her primary motivation to protect her family.
THREE THINGS WE LIKED:
The intriguing plot that transformed all the players - The intense and lengthy stillness of the close ups - The simple and muted palette of Grey, blue & black
