Dale: You can look at me, Andy. Mm. You've never been to a strip club?
Andrew: No, I haven't.
Dale: So, how long has she been away?
Andrew: Six months.

Featured review
Another Austrailian movie with great acting and strong story
I have been very impressed with the amount of quality movies coming out of Australia in the past 5 years. This movie holds true to the current pattern of Strong acting, keen direction and quality stories.
This particular movie has been done before with the hot girl and 2 men fighting over a position of power over her. I was impressed on how the movie built momentum towards a interesting conclusion.
The violence and sex were extremely well acted and served a purpose in establishing the nature of the 3 central characters. I think the director followed the formula to a tee and it paid off.
I would highly recommend this film to fans of suspense and drama who don't mind a bit of the rough stuff.
