This film has its head in the clouds, trying to teach the audience something they already knew!, 20 February 2006
1/10

The point of this film is that rape is bad. Nothing more, nothing less. The filmmakers have their heads in the clouds, making this film so self-important and self-righteous, thinking it will set the world on fire with its important groundbreaking never seen before theme. The characters repeat stock lines at regular intervals (I didn't do Anything... I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING) with such obvious force that it appears this film was made to be studied by Year 12 English students. The characterisation in awful and the characters spend half the film standing around doing nothing, hoping the important message this film is trying to send out will carry them. It doesn't. This film could have been better in the hands of a more competent director and not merely some low budget actor trying to make a name for himself behind the scenes. This film is now being marketed on DVD as "Heath Ledger's first film" which is the only way they could sell it. A shame because it had real potential. What a waste.
