The Aussies are at it again. Mesmerising us with their underrated crime-thrillers. Following in the footsteps of ANIMAL KINGDOM, THE HORSEMAN and SNOWTOWN is writer/director Craig Lahiff’s SWERVE.
The film follows the character of Colin (played by David Lyons), who happens across a fatal car accident alongside a suitcase full of cash. However, his good deed in informing the local police authorities and passing on the suitcase soon sees him fighting for his survival against the backdrop of the South Australian outback when a crazed cop (the always brilliant Jason Clarke) and his mysterious wife (Emma Booth) try to cover things up and keep the money for themselves.
Check out the first trailer for the crime thriller set for limited release in the US from the 6th December. It’s already available on DVD in the UK.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
