Once again the ratings at IMDb are misleading. I should just watch all the flicks rated at around 5 and I reckon I'll enjoy all of them. This is a fantastic movie. I am actually in tears after watching it and that is extremely rare for me. Even more so with a movie this dark and violent. It's not for the faint-hearted nor is it for those who just want to watch a fun thriller/action flick while they scoff popcorn. This movie needs you to give it your attention, you can't be hoovering the loungeroom or texting friends while you watch it in the background. But if you do give it your attention you will be rewarded with a unique and thought provoking experience. Good acting from the always under-appreciated Melissa George - some of the other actors are a bit stilted and the whole movie is clearly low budget - would have benefited from a more astute director - but despite that it's still a great movie and well worth watching.
