Detective Nick Mathers loses everything in the pursuit of a killer: his wife, his eldest daughter, his girlfriend.

Each piece has a name on it, if Nick loses a piece; the killer slaughters the person whose name is on the piece.

But can he rescue Lisa in ... Written by JD

I'll keep my review of this bad student film brief. The plot, story and acting are amateurish but it's the bizarre use of American accents that baffles me. It's an Australian film (obvious by the use of right hand drive cars, Aussie accented voice mail and the BIG sign that says Surrey Hills police station, yet they insist on making the actors speak in dreadful American accents? An obvious attempt at a Jigsaw ripoff that is cheap and flimsy. And those accents again! We're the film makers hoping to sell this overseas? Dear God....
