Warning: Spoilers
I can't fathom the point of this film. It's one of those films that if you've watched the trailer beforehand then there are no new or interesting twists or turns to look forward to. The plot development is plodding and predictable. The ending is no surprise. Character development was poor; I really didn't care what happened to any of them. The isolation of and focus on the three central characters created a huge plausibility issue for me. Especially when the character Alex was ill in the motel room suspecting that he had been poisoned. Surely he or his girlfriend would call for help – everybody's heard of the flying doctor service. Instead it's all left to the Taylor character to sort. The opportunities for interesting cinematography of the Australian landscape were not taken up. All in all a wasted trip to the cinema.
