Australian crime dramas have always kept me on edge despite their knack for the implication of violence rather than actually showing it on the big screen. Wright's peculiar style of narration, unraveling the story in a somewhat unconventional style, actually amplifies the impact the story leaves on the audience.
As for the score and cinematography, a better job couldn't have been possibly done as the atmospheric style totally suits the storyline.
Even though Joel Edgerton delivers an acceptable performance as a character living a dual life, one must admit that it is Sean Harris who carries the whole movie with his nuanced yet powerhouse delivery.
One tiny bit of criticism: I am sure they could have come up with a much better and more intriguing title than "The Stranger".
