      When the caretaker is looking at the model, he is escorted by a Sergeant with a full face bushy beard. A Pioneer Sergeant is the only position within the British Army allowed to have a beard. They are responsible for carpentry and joinery, which in the context of the scene, is exactly what he is doing.

    Not bad but....
    I cannot for the life of me understand why the silly accent of Abbie Cornish was not edited out, anything would have been less of a killer during moments of tension than that silly forced accent. The film makers couldn't get a british actress apparently?

    Totally ruins the tension with her plumby narration at intense parts. Poorly conceived. The films' quite good, and I know Cornish is an excellent actress, but shoot the director please (in a non-violent way)..
