It's action meets thriller meets psychological drama meets ten turns flat out on a roller coaster ride. And not for a moment does the pace of The Pact dwindle. Whilst traditional in its wallpapered love story of boy meets girl, boy helps girl, boy loves girl scenario, it's the series of events - many of them totally unpredictable - that bring two fabulous Australian actors (Sigrid Thornton and Peter O'Brien) together that makes this movie the heart-stopper that it is. Imagine being in a terrifying rape situation, only to have a guy who unknown to you has been living in your roof suddenly drop through the ceiling to save you. Now do you get what I mean? Get it, watch it. It's fine Australian screen writing and fine Australian acting. You'll be glad you did.
