This is the second crime thriller Aussie movie in two years and I'm becoming a fan. At first I was hesitant because it's hard to keep up with the accent in dark gloomy quiet dialect that these movies need to be authentic, but we do have subtitles, although sometimes they(subtitles) take a little bit out of the viewing experience.
The acting in this movie is brilliant from the leads Edgerton and Harris. Based on a true story, I knew nothing about but I didn't want to be familiar with it as to not spoil any happenings of the film. I loved this movie, it's slow but you better follow along or not miss anything because you'll miss something that ties it altogether.
The other Aussie crime thriller is The Dry and I'm beginning to love these and will be far less hesitant to watch the next one. The Stranger is tension building acted with excellence that I watched twice and picked up several things in the rewatch after that makes more sense duh the second time. It's a hard watch for the subject but done well. The ending could've given more finality as far as info of the characters but still a solid 9.
