Les N @Vegas628 Jul 21 Good to see Aussie films making the big time. See more dave s @RT68722908 02/02/2022 While it doesn't really add anything new to the noir-inspired, ‘I think we're in way over our heads' style of thriller, The Square is still a pretty entertaining way to kill some time. Ray and Carla are lovers, both cheating on their spouses, who decide to steal a satchel full of money from Carla's husband, who has hidden the bag of cash in the attic. It all seems pretty straightforward until the plan goes horribly wrong, resulting is a nasty chain of blackmail and murder. Despite their stupidity, the two lead characters are interesting and the film moves along at a brisk clip, keeping you guessing along the way. There are a lot of better films of this type (Fargo, A Simple Plan, etc), but there's nothing wrong with spending some time watching The Square.

A clandestine affair with a young neighbour and a mismanaged plot to steal her husband's stash of cash leads inevitably to death and disaster. This Australian neo-noir comes so close to being brilliant - it's very well acted, photographed and directed - that it's a genuine shame that the final quarter slips into almost comic melodrama, with far too many plot beats to stay the right side of plausible. But never mind: it's still a great deal better than most modern thrillers. See more Jerod S @jeroduptown 05/10/2020 Decent thriller - they are trying to plan their escape so they can run off together - but it's a little more complicated than that - living across the river from each other.
