Firstly, I want to say the acting was great and the poor reviews are in no way related to the performance of the entire cast. Actually, they work very well with the minimal storyline they have to work with. The movie just goes nowhere. It feels like it's constantly building and building but there's no climax. It's really disappointing because it's so close to being something decent. -SPOILER- why the hell does former employee Jules (the British backpacker) call looking for a couple of the blokes? Literally had nothing to do with anything else that happened. Same as the cash flow issues of the pubs owner? Wasn't really vital to the story. Would've worked better with a good twist or big climax, or maybe even has a series with more time to explore each of the secondary characters.
