A lean and moody road-trip thriller, which though a little uneven, is nevertheless a deft piece of filmmaking.

1 - 7 (sorted by date; UK critics are listed first)
Suspenseful misadventure gets off to a roaring start but doesn't deliver the goods.

Top CriticThis raw and ultra-basic film is more an exercise in building cinematic claustrophobia than servicing a traditional narrative.
06/08/08
The cinematography is terrific and one inspired scene involves the use of the Wiggles as an instrument of torture.
06/08/08
This laconic Australian thriller-cum-road movie wastes no time in getting into gear.
06/08/08
Jasmine Yuen-Carrucan ("Kill Bill," "Mongol") leapfrogs into the director's chair with confidence; but her flawed, lightweight script betrays inexperience behind a keyboard.
05/06/08
Top CriticDeeper and more complex than it appears at first sight, Cactus is a terrific low-budget Australian film with tough, macho themes that are supported by even tougher female elements
