A young doctor on
holiday intervenes in the sexual assault of a young woman by giving the chap
responsible a hearty thrashing. Jolly good.
Unfortunately the
next day it turns out he might have beaten the fellow to death. Not wanting to
spend the rest of his life in prison he decides to leg it.
You've probably seen
numerous films where the plot sounds very similar to that, unlike most of them
this one is set in a recognisable world where people who find themselves out of
their depth are confused and struggling against the panic that threatens to
render them useless. There's no heroics, grand speeches, explosions or car
chases so common to other 'on the run' films. This one is just about a normal
guy who's act of decency has backfired in a terrible way and left him in a
fucked situation with minimal exits.
Also, Rossif Sutherland, who plays the doctor is 6ft 5" tall. We decided that really
tall people look funny when they're running.
