THRILLER
Co-produced, co-written and directed by Jon Hewitt that has expensive high end escort Holly Rowe (Viva Bianca) offering decent money to young runaway, rookie hooker. Shay Ryan (Hanna Mangan Lawrence)to join her to entertain a client, only then to witness that same client get executed in cold blood, forcing both of them to go on the run. Shay does however build up a rapport with cabbie, Harry(Eamon Farren). Complicating matters is the fact that the person who is chasing them also happens to be a cop named Bennet (Stephen Phillips).
The escort Holly had two opportunities to take advantage of the situation, and to some frustrates some viewers- one during the time when Bennet stopped her at the hotel and then again with the car, which if people were to watch this would know what I Am talking about.

Well well well , i had a couple of choices of movies to watch tonight , and i wanted something different .This is an Australian production. So i decided to pick this movie and watch it . First of all it got the actress Viva Bianca .So if anyone has seen the HBO TV series "Spartacus" , you'd recognize her from there . Without going into too much detail , the plot is about too call-girls(hookers) who meet , by chance(fate) and then they see something which ends up making them go on a roller coaster ride .
For me i enjoyed it , but not thoroughly . Its one of those movie which you are bound to forget soon enough . The acting was alright , and the story it could have been done in a much better way . There was more running around than story telling . However if it wasn't for Viva bianca id probably wouldn't find it so entertaining . The film had a lot of nudity , but not enough of violence or abusive language which normally helps .It started of well , then somewhere in the middle it got lost and the ending came a bit too quick as if the movie was hurried . Overall , id give it a 5 out of 10

Don't be beguiled by the low IMDb rating. This film has a lot more to offer than viewers seem to allow.
The tag-lines seem to give off a different vibe, making it more sensational; of course, this may be the reason why high expectations come out of the oven flopped. This film is NOT a "Night of Vengeance" - trust me when I say that the whole idea of "avenging" is completely bogus. If anything, it's more a story of two women living on polar-opposite sides of the spectrum, who try to survive and make a life by whatever means they have.
It details their life by a serendipitous encounter, a span of perhaps two-three nights, which builds into a climax. There is a thriller element, but it's not really the central issue. If anything, it's a side-factor which builds onto the story - onto THEIR story.
My advice is to have an open mind and absorb the story - it's not the mainstream plot development, although there is a definite construct evident in it.
Personally, I was more impressed by the cinematography and the editing. Everything felt freshly dynamic. The wild action scenes were cuttingly ragged and energetic, which was highly contrasted against the gorgeously delicate ones. I would give it an 8/10 for the aesthetics alone.
If I had to describe the film in one word, it would be "sensual." Everything about the film, from the audiovisuals (music, ambiance, colours, etc.) to the dialogue stimulates your senses.
Caution: there are a few scenes of explicit nudity and violence, and other provocative scenes which may feel distasteful to the prudent mind. To be frank, I think it lends the film an honesty which is hard to find in motion picture these days. However, if this sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, I would recommend against it.
I hope this helps.

This was one of those movies where you aren't really sure what to expect when it starts, and it starts out with a sexual scene that introduces us to one of the main characters. I watched this with my boyfriend and we both agreed it was a surprisingly good movie, you really feel for the main characters, and it's a bit of a "heartwarming thriller".
I recommend this movie if you're looking for an action movie with heart, the first 30 minutes are a bit slow-paced and you might wonder what this movie is about, exactly. However once the main characters come together, the plot gets going and there are a lot of nicely filmed chase scenes and a few plot twists that keep the audience interested, both male and female.
Ladies, despite the cover and the subject matter, I think women will enjoy the strong sisterly bond between the two main characters and the warmth and caring in their relationship as much as the men will enjoy the action and ample amount of nude scenes in the film. It was definitely not what I expected it to be!

Guys, seriously don't bother. The acting is not amazing, (except for Viva Bianca who probably the only thing that made this whole movie worthwhile) you don't understand why the characters behave the way they do. The storyline is blotchy, many things remain unexplained. SUPER unrealistic. The concept and the story seems great at first but too many of the pieces don't stick together. They manage to keep you interested and hooked because you're hoping somehow everything will fit into order eventually. NOT. The 2 out of those 3/10 is for the exquisite nudity of the actresses,but for the rest it's not worth it. BOTTOM LINE: If you enjoy being incredibly frustrated then go ahead and grab yourself some popcorn and get ready for this ride.
Did you know
- TriviaViva Bianca wasn't able to take the part originally due to scheduling conflicts with Spartacus. However, the return of Andy Whitfield's cancer uprooted the production schedule as it was clear he was not able to continue. While in the series was in stasis, Bianca filmed this movie.
- GoofsIn the beginning of the film, Shay stands near a train holding a coin and goes to a beggar sitting nearby to give him the coin. In the first scene, the beggar was sitting with his legs crossed above the ground, but in the next scene when Shay drops the coin in the beggar's hat, he was sitting his legs touching the ground.
