A forensic psychologist, Sally Rowe, is appointed by police to determine whether there's enough evidence to lay murder charges against 17 year old Alex, accused in the shotgun death of his school mate Nigel.

This was an enjoyable film and very well acted on all counts.
The narrative was sufficient to keep you interested, plus a good dose of suspense although perhaps a little slow during the second half.
My only reservation is that the ending is predictable and badly explained. However, the ride that gets you there is sufficient reason to watch it.
If I don't sound too excited it's because I'm not; but if you're looking for a good evening filler then this is a sound choice.
Taut, tense intriging thriller with the always superb Toni Collette, who unfortunately does not share much screen time. However, well acted, but a little confusing to say the least. Still don't know what the ending was about...but thats cool..Recommended.
