106 minute running time. This was a not very well made Crime-Doesn’t-Pay thriller from Australia … a beautiful young woman, who is married to a tow-truck driver with a mullet?!?, has an affair with a boring old guy (improbable) … it’s a small town, everyone knows everyone else … they plan to run off together (where?) after stealing the tow-truck driver’s tiny stash of ill-gotten money (how did he get it?) as well as the kickbacks the old guy is getting from a construction project … there are various twists and turns in the story, but they’re not very well done. I saw that there were 25 minutes worth of blessedly deleted scenes included on the DVD, but I don’t think any of it helped the story work.
At first I was going to give this a not-good not-bad rating, but upon reflection, I’m going to go with a bad rating. Don’t see this, you’ll just get frustrated and annoyed by the poor story telling. John Farr said this was “noir done right,” but he’s wrong.
God, it's all talk, isn't it? You and me, and going away, and leaving your wife.
