Jen, an American soldier stationed at a remote outpost in Australia, discovers it pays to be skeptical.

Jake Wilson

The Age (Australia)

Promising as it sounds, in practice The Tumbler is a mess. The characters are strictly stock types -- none of them especially sympathetic -- and the story soon becomes so convoluted that it's easy to get lost in the swirl of explanations and flashbacks.

Rated: 2/5

David Stratton

At the Movies (Australia)

This ultra low-budget Australian film, made by Marc Gracie (director of You and Your Stupid Mate), is saddled with quite a number of major credibility problems, both in terms of plot and character.

Paul Byrnes

Sydney Morning Herald

There are so many scores being settled here, by the filmmakers as well as their characters, that tension takes a holiday, along with credibility and fun.

Rated: 2.5/5

The Tumbler will divert genre fans who don't mind the absence of gloss.

There's a lot of invention here that doesn't get a chance to come alive. Fast moving, short and full of ideas, The Tumbler has the kind of nervy, larger than life quality of the best of '50s B cinema.

Rated: 2.5/5
