Overview

Roy Freeman, an ex-homicide detective with a fractured memory, is forced to revisit a case he can’t remember. As a man’s life hangs in the balance on death row, Freeman must piece together the brutal evidence from a decade-old murder investigation, uncovering a sinister web of buried secrets and betrayals linking to his past. With only instincts to trust, he faces a chilling truth - sometimes, it’s best to let sleeping dogs lie.

Viewing Notes

A nicely subdued performance from Crowe juxtaposed with Gillan’s character who seems on the verge of tears or a nervous breakdown for nearly all her scenes makes for a mixed bag, but overall I liked it well enough. This may be the first performance of hers that I didn’t like.

Shot entirely in Australia doing a stand-in for some ivy-league school city in America.
