    Good slow burn movie

    The past will always catch up with you! What a message. A nice slow burn movie and as you get to know the journalist you start to feel for him but things really take a turn. If you want to watch a psychological film then this is the only one you need to watch. Best one I've seen so far this year.

    Offbeat

    This is one quirky movie. It won't be everyone's cup of tea but movies like this always get my attention. It's short and uncomplicated.

    It's a good movie, probably not worth an 8 but as I live in Victoria and recognised some of the locations I bumped the rating up by 1 point.

    Quicksand

    The start will draw you in, but soon you will find yourself stuck, deciding whether watching this film was a good idea at all. It continues to suck you down deeper to new levels of bad acting and plot turns. Stay on the safe trails and away from dodgy shortcut films like this.

    Terrrible Acting

    The story is ok, the scenery is nice, but the acting is wooden and completely unbelievable.

    As much as I love to support Australian cinema, this movie is a 3 at best.

    Don't believe the high scores, clearly made by people connected to the movie.

    Awful.

    Ridiculous acting that is tedious and painful to watch. Unbelievable situations (especially the attending police) make this another cringeworthy film that Australia seems to be producing lately.
