Well acted, especially by Sam Neill, who plays a very likable crook in this film. The roles were all well cast, mostly played by character actors rather than people picked for star power or appearance. The plot was twisted, but still easy to follow, and the characters all behaved in character. Mike's wife, at first unsympathetic, became more attractive towards the end, and the hatchet burying rang true. The twists all worked well, pacing was well-maintained, and the cast and characters all did a great job. I appreciated the mostly clean language, too. A lot of films of this kind seem to be trying to attract attention by making all the characters foul-mouthed and unpleasant. Information was dropped as and when it was needed, neither being over-explained or left floating.
