A clever and lively entry from Australia than introduced the world to Frances O'Connor (A.I.).

Imagine Terrence Malick's Badlands done as black comedy, with the rural atmosphere of Psycho and dialogue rubbed against flint.

Kiss or Kill is, after a shaky start, surprisingly good.

This latest antipodean entry into the genre is fresh and funny, intelligent and powerful, miraculously finding new mileage within the oft-travelled staple.

A cleverly disguised whodunit -- a murder mystery that looks, feels and moves unlike another other murder mystery.

In some ways, it's a remarkable recovery for writer-director Bill Bennett, whose much-tampered-with Sandra Bullock vehicle Two If by Sea was almost unwatchable.

It isn't the first hellbound road movie to end up on a nuclear testing site in the desert (there's always Kalifornia), but Bennett makes you feel as though you haven't seen it before.
