Review of Tailgate

Tailgate (2015)
8/10
Shoestring Budget Australian Thriller
2 April 2018
This is a nice little character study film. A young man recovers consciousness in the boot (trunk in the US) of a sedan and discovers that the driver is a contract killer and he along with a fellow traveler are intended targets; however in the case of the young man, not immediately.

There are many unanswered questions at the films commencement, but pieces fall into place as it progresses. Whether it was deliberate or not, I nice touch was as the film continued and you learnt more about the driver, the more was revealed of him physically.

I imagine it would have cost very little to make this film ; the majority of the film occurs within the car, the cast was small (I think there was a total of 5 actors) and there were negligible special effects.

A distinctly Australian film that I recommend.
