Detective Aaron Falk returns home to his small town during a drought spell, his presence reopens an old wound, the death of a teenage girl years before.
It's a very good movie, if you're a fan of the mystery genre, this should appeal to you. Pacing may be an issue for some, as it is a little slow in parts, but it's definitely a satisfying watch.
You are presented with bits of the puzzle, but you get to see it through the eyes of Falk, from youth to adulthood, he's tough, he's smart, he's relentless, the outcome isn't one I expected.
Don't expect any laughs or humour, it's a straight up mystery, The Dry not only the title of the film, but the tone too. You can almost feel the heat and humidity, everyone looks half cooked in almost every scene.
The casting was very good, the casting of the younger selves was excellent, Eric Bana is very good, well supported by Genevieve O'Reilly and Keir O'Donnell.
7/10.
