Rent a different Australian film, not this one, 3 March 2001
Author: jtur88 from Michigan

This is probably the worst Aussie film I've seen in quite a while, although it was a fairly early one, before the industry was very well polished in that country. These characters were just not very credible to me. Under the circumstances, Nikki was pretty casual about her underwear in front of Trevor, a disliked stranger. The cops had to be pretty stupid to not know for themselves that egrets fly toward water in the morning. I feel sorry for Kath, falling for a guy who was, is, and would always be a jerk, no matter how glowing his moments of social redemption on his veneer. I just couldn't swallow it.

It almost worked, 6 December 2000

Author: Sack-3 from Washington, DC

Showtime has been showing a lot of 1980s Australian movies recently (who knows why), and this wasn't one of the best (check out Flirting instead). It has that slow, character-focused pace that you come to expect from Australian films. The characters are intriguing, and I was interested to learn how things turn out. The plot builds well, but the movie tended to keep you waiting too long. The surprise ending took some time for me to understand if I ever understood it.
