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

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

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

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

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.
