(Sundance)
Brendan Cowell is an Australian policeman ("constable" in the vernacular) who is not particularly good at his job. He's got a persistent ringing in his ears which gets him a doctor's excuse and a cushy job manning a temporary police trailer. A serial murderer is loose and the police are desperately looking for him. The only witness to his rampage on a train is scared she will be next. Meanwhile back at the trailer a series of odd characters come and go, is one of them the murderer? I was afraid this wasn't going to go much of anywhere for most of the film. The Aussie accents were thick and the characters typical indie quirky. However, the ending is hands-down the best ending I've seen in quite some time, it really makes you think and puts the rest of the film in a new light.
