Film: Swerve

Directed by Craig Lahoff (M)  Driving cross-country to a job interview, Colin (David Lyons) takes a shortcut and witnesses a spectacular car accident. While one of the drivers Jina (Perth actor Emma Booth) is unhurt, the other is dead – leaving a suitcase of money without an owner. Hero Colin, a former soldier who has served in Iraq, rescues the lovely Jina. Resisting Jina’s temptations is easy, as she happens to be the wife of the local police officer but he also hands in the cash to Frank (Jason Clarke) at the police station. Set in the dustbowl that is the South Australian outback, this is a brilliantly scripted and perfectly timed thriller. Writer/director Craig Lahoff does not miss a beat as the storyline swerves backwards and forwards and the body count rises. The fact that there is a police marching band competition in the town is a hint that the humour is blackly tongue-in-cheek.
