A gun is pointed to Kat's (Aaron Jakubenko) head. It's his gun. Or at least it was after he escaped a chain gang and stole it. Luckily for him though, it's not fully loaded. But how many bullets are left? He can't quite remember. And now, with an unknown assailant pulling the trigger, Kat is forced to recall exactly what happened to each bullet. While the empty rounds click away, memories of wild animal attacks, run-ins with an impulsive police officer (Ryan Kwanten), a down-to-earth arms dealer, and his ex-lover (Melanie Zanetti) come flooding back. As the pressure mounts, Kat must figure out how many rounds are left and try to devise a plan to escape... one more time.

An aimless thriller which isn't nearly as clever as it thinks it, mistaking random quirkiness and ludicrous coincidences for good writing.

Film noire - I loved it. No expectations initially, but just got hooked with the opening scenes and the really watchable lead Kat, played by Aaron Jakubenko. Looked him up and found out he's another Aussie actor with smarts. The Burkhardt brothers have made a quirky watchable movie with some humour interweaved into some very dark moments. Imagine if they actually had a proper budget to make a movie. Great indie effort.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The Wee Review

Smart, slick, and relentless neo-noir thriller chucks it's anti-hero into a series of misadventures. Has the strong sense that everything is at the mercy of a cosmic comedy of errors

Rated: 4

Subculture Entertainment

Brilliantly written thriller that feels like you are watching a Tarantino film written by the Coen Brothers. Creative in every sense... brilliant.

Rated: 5/5

Directors Ben Burghart and Jacob Burghart give Head Count a Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) flavor with a Quick and the Dead (1995) edge.

Rated: 3.5/5

Spectrum Culture

Head Count’s tangle of absurd detours, dark gags, foreshadowing and Kansas underworld figures does pay off.
