Dead End

I am a big fan of thrillers and I have to say that Dead End fulfills all of your expectations if you want to make your heart race and jump out of your seat. It's also a film where you'll find yourself wondering just who the real killer is. I'm usually good at figuring out what's going to happen next. However, this does not fit the formula. It has too many red herrings to sidetrack your thinking. In fact, I had no clue until the ending where we finally see just who the culprit really is. I thought the story was exceptional, the actors are terrific and the movie looks really good. You have to love the Australian locations. This film would make a great poster for tourism. Oh yeah, there's a scene where the two lead actors are driving around having dinner in a tram car restaurant. That was the first time I've ever seen anything like that. Talk about romantic. But beware if your faint hearted, some of the murder sequences are graphic and the sex scenes are very sexy. I would say done with good taste but still very sexy. If you want a great ride into the world of psychological thrillers, then Dead End is a good bet. I recommend it highly.

This is a wonderfully crafted, small independent picture. I was pleasantly surprised. It's as good as they come! The leader actor, William Snow is a star in the making. The locations, script, and directions are all top notch. This movie is a must see.

I've been an acting coach in Los Angeles for over 25 years and had some students that went on to greatness. With that said, Dead End has a fine ensemble cast. Key word here is: Believable! This film although not a big budget picture fulfills all the aspects of one. The production value, locations, music are first rate. The Director keeps the story moving and has you guessing through to the very end. I believe that the only reason for good acting and good story is because of the written word. The Screenplay. Considering the thrillers that are current like Stephan King's Secret Window to the classics from Hitchcock, Dead End is comparable. A special mention that the sex scenes are steamy and the violence tame compared to some of the slasher movies. William Snow is star material, I hope someone finds him.

Will Snow's performance is wonderful in this film, however badly written it is. The actors do try to make the script more believable. It is graphic at times, has too much nudity at times, has some scenes that some may find offensive but then again watching someone get stabbed and killed with blood isn't everyone's cup of tea. Snow is Todd a writer and former cop who's being framed for a murder, basic story line, he figures out who it is, climatic ending, and he gets the girl, happy go lucky in a sense. All the actors here are Aussies, so you gotta love their accent. I was amused by this, at times you wonder who the real killer is....

Iren Koster is a real auteur. Full of ideas that are realized on the screen with genuine skill and vision. Full of action and excitement.

This is the hallmark of the Koster directorial approach. I unqualifiedly recommend this film all film aficionados who really enjoy entertainment and a thriller.

These Australian actors are comparable to the finest American actors. Enjoyed the locations and great production value.

I read that Koster's next project is the action comedy "Perfect Partners". I am looking forward to viewing it on the big screen.

Koster has a knack for nabbing "A" talent like Eddie Griffin and Michael Clarke Duncan.
