Though the earlier commenter rated this Aussie film exactly the same as me--5 out of 10--his GLASS was half full, and mine's half empty! He did not highlight the cheesy mood music more suitable for a high school biology video about the work of the mitochondria than a movie billing itself as a "mystery thriller of deceptions." He did not point out the director's fixation on still life videography, mostly of anonymous busts which had no discernible relation to the story. True, the ubiquitous glass recycling conveyor belt moved for a few seconds, but nothing was gained by showing this snippet of video at random intervals 17 more times after the opening credits. This flick is so low budget it looks like the female leads were played by the same actress with different wigs (and no, this was NOT an intentional plot device). Director Chris Kennedy also is credited as the writer, but the "story" develops so haphazardly it's doubtful there was an actual script; cast and crew probably just made it up as they went along during the three days their video cam rental lasted. Therefore, I awarded four rating points to the shysters who put together a VHS box interesting enough to make me shell out my money to buy this "Atlas Entertainment Corporation" misfire, and one point to the 89-minute feature itself (the other four minutes alleged by the package and parroted as the running time by IMDb actually belong to a post-view for a more titillating B-movie titled MADONNA).
