There's nothing exciting about this film, and it's easily forgettable by the next day. The writing is convoluted with many plot and technical issues. The 117 min runtime and dragged out slow pacing felt endless, I was begging for the end, and it wasn't a rewarding one. The directing was all over the place and lacked urgency and continuity. There was just too much filler for the little substance, of which only became apparent towards the end, and you'll say "that's it?". Writer and director Robert Connolly needed more "oomph" and less "clunk" in this film. The performances were decent, although Bana seemed bored for the most part. The cinematography, landscape and score were excellent, and the only real highlights of this film. Had Connolly cut and trimmed many scenes to make this no more than a 90 min film, I may have liked it more. It's a 6/10 from me.
