This falls into the class of 'people story' and these do need to be done at a certain pace. Dad Sam having lost his wife in tragic circumstances is now attempting to raise his son while dealing with the trauma. A former Special Ops mate factors in and things get messy. This is not a fast paced action movie, and it's refreshing that it isn't as the story wouldn't work properly if it was. However, there is a lot happening and it certainly kept our interest. Relationship between Dad and son is great to watch. If you love a good people story and like relationship tales, then this is a good watch and we really enjoyed it.

Here I am thinking, good movies are still being made, as opposed to Hollywood blockbuster money makers, and Australian good movies at that (i.e., the dry, danger close, snow town etc.) and then I come back and read the comments "where's the action?" - are you daft!!?? Wtf?? Clearly there's a disconnect between good movies and what to expect... but poor reviews (sub-5), really? And this movie isn't without its flaws, but it resonated with me, really liked it, I've no doubt it might be received poorly, but keep it up movie makers. There is an audience who appreciates good story telling. Loved it, thanks.

A well acted and moving account of a loving family torn apart by a tragic accident. Explores what effect this can have on a father and son in particular. However I found the violent ending somewhat mystifying and unsatisfactory. It was as though the writer wasn't quite sure how to finish the story. Would have been better with an ultimate.redemption for both parent and child.

Good to see Sam Worthington in a serious role though, and the boy's performance is very moving. Also good to have a script without an excess of dialogue. In this case the silences, especially from Worthington's character, speak more than words. Writers take note.

Surprised at the bad reviews and low ratings as we thought this a great study into veteran inner conflict, compounded by personal tragedy and the inability to find stability in ongoing employment- problems faced by so many returning vets from all wars even without the then loss of family at home. We did not need to see the deeds of war, the story was set in the aftermath .The performances were great, Matt Nable displaying brilliantly the characteristics of those vets unable to leave the battlefields behind, Sam Worthington trying to do so but visibly feeling failure in raising his son alone while the voice off his wife is his conscience, drifting from job to job - then to crime - a lost soul really. And the son, at each stage, trying to understand too while dealing with his own loss and lack of direction. The fight scenes were well choreographed , violent and well executed and overall reminded of the type of films we have seen following all theatres of war where returning soldiers are damaged yet receive minimal support. Ignore the naysayers, watch this and decide for yourself.

I really tried with this movie. But the slow boring pace it just isn't it. I mean come on we are 36 minutes into the movie and we have one action scene??!! And the script is nothing to write home about in this movie. It had me screaming in my head CAN WE AT THIS TRY HERE🤣

I mean give credit to the cast for trying to carry a script that literally says have you gone to sleep yet directly in your face. If you go based on the trailer for this movie you will surely be disappointed. No directions, no action and certainly no purpose to have made this film. I honestly wish I could get that 36 minutes back and rewrite the script.
