This is an unusual adventure with striking scenes of the Australian outback. Travis McMahon (who plays a kidnapper) and David Lyons (a hostage) carry most of the film. There is an interesting exchange between the kidnapper and the hostage, which captivates the viewer, as the two travel to the kidnapper's destination. Bryan Brown (who plays Rosco) provides excitement, as he adds twists to the story, and is vital to the film's surprise ending. Rosco, a law officer, carries destiny and his own brand of justice. Will the kidnapper and the hostage arrive at their intended destination? And, will the kidnapper be able to safely return to his home, his wife, and his young daughter?
The direction and writing, by Jasmine Yuen Carrucan, is good. But, the story is not fully developed, and I found the ending to be incomplete. The film's ending left me, and the two main characters (the kidnapper and the hostage), in suspended animation. People are killed, and they just seem to disappear, without a trace. In addition, the flashbacks in the film are confusing to me, and I don't know what their relationship is to the film's storyline. It is for these reasons that I rank this film a 7 out of 10. The film has potential but, as a viewer, I was kidnapped and don't really know why. The film is a puzzle, without all of the pieces, but see if you can try to piece it together. I definitely can't.
