At what Cost?

How far would you go to get even?What lengths would you go to exact revenge, and at what price would you be willing to pay for it or believe it would administer you satisfaction and justice?These are some of the questions, not answers, that The Cost poses in its challenging and often unsettling narrative.Written and directed by Australian producer Matthew Holmes and co-written with Gregory Moss this is a worthy addition to the Australian movie landscape and a tense and tight-scripted film to round off 2022. With convincing performances throughout, The Cost seems to have been well casted and carefully thought-out to indeed deliver a thought-provoking experience that will stay with you at least on the drive home and probably longer.I found it hard to place into a genre and that can be a positive thing for a film sometimes, reflecting the originality of the piece - or at least the will to do so.Violence collides with conscience here and with a twisting and turning narrative, The Cost packs a punch right to the end, with a brooding soundtrack that fills the film throughout and at feels apt at all times.I had the chance to see it at the Adelaide premiere and supporters of Australian film, and of course anyone with an openness to be challenged (and a little unsettled), would find here in this film enough meaty content to chew on pre or post Christmas lunch, depending if you have the chance to see it in cinemas or streaming online.
