I'm as parochial as the next guy, so I wanted to be more on board with this 2022 Aussie produced action thriller that just dropped on Stan, sadly it was a little too pedestrian to write home about.

Kate (Gillian Alexy) is a competition Archer who must rely on her skills when her investment banker husband Ash (Luke Ford) and daughter Sarah (Tea Heathcote-Marks) are kidnapped by goons lead by scar-faced bad ass babe Reed (Alexandra Nell) and bespectacled buffoon Kane (Ryan Panizza).

McLeod's Daughters veteran Alexy is decent in the lead role and would have been better suited with a narrative allowing her to break out her bow and arrow and plug some of these fuckers alot sooner. As it stands things are bogged down for way too long with the back and forth melodrama of the kidnapping scenario. Luke Ford, who isn't the early 2000s porn gossip hound turned devout Rabbi, is pretty insipid as the husband Ash and rocks a truly awful cardigan. Alexandra Nell impresses with brute force and a pissed off attitude in the role of Reed.

There are some decent revelations as to the motive of the villians that come late in the game, and with a trimmed down script these could have been a gamechanger, but as it stands at the point of reveal you will have likely nodded off, or at least been distracted by your facebook/twitter/letterboxd feed.
