![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Grant is the cousin of the girl whose murder remains unsolved and tends to hang around with her dad Mal (William Zappa), also belligerent. Connolly’s film has exactly two things going for it – its stunning and spatially intelligent use of its widescreen frame and Keir O'Donnell’s (“American Sniper”) thoughtfully nuanced portrayal of Kiewarra’s Sergeant Greg Raco.įalk walks into such a hostile environment, his friend’s parents, Gerry and Barb Hadler (“Mad Max’s” helicopter pilot Bruce Spence and veteran actress Julia Blake), are heckled at their own son’s funeral while he himself is harassed by the same man, Grant Dow (Matt Nable), at the pub where he’s taken lodging. All set to sink into a good murder mystery? How about ten of them? Cowriter (with Harry Cripps, "Penguin Bloom")/director Robert Connolly’s adaptation of Jane Harper's novel is so over baked, so many of Kiewarra’s citizens criminals or liars of one form or another, that it is hard to care about any of them. ![]()
