Alec C The truth is hard to deduce, especially the person you're interviewing! As a man is arrested for a stolen car, the police believe that the man is a secret serial killer, but internal affairs and the mans protestations of innocence make it hard to tell if he's lying. A psychological crime thriller with Hugo Weaving playing a man who has many dark secrets, but is not about to reveal them so easily! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Shioka O A small, but excellent crime drama. Sharp and coherent plot, driven by smart dialog, efficient acting performance. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/22 Full Review zed b Great Aussie drama, a timeless classic with top performances for the 2 leads.
