In this gritty, downbeat, Outback noir, detective Travis Hurley (Simon Baker of The Mentalist, unrecognizable) arrives in the town of Limbo to investigate the cold-case murder of a local Indigenous girl 20 years earlier. The murder investigation moves slowly, since director Ivan Sen is focusing more on the atmosphere (like any good noir). Loaded with interesting characters who have little to lose, this visually distinctive work is shot in striking monochrome B&W and set in a rarely seen part of rural Australia – rocky, dusty, foreboding – where people live in spaces carved out of the earth. Sen handles the writing, cinematography, editing, music and visual effects, which may account for the uncanny unity of concept and execution. ~SM
