Revanche (4 Stars)


This is a gripping Austrian thriller. I don't know how big the Austrian film industry is, but I've only seen two other Austrian films, "Angst" and "The Counterfeiters", and they were all good.

An inept crook robs a bank while his girlfriend waits in the getaway car. As they drive away she's shot dead by a policeman. The policeman is suspended for misconduct, and the crook hides out at his father's farm. When the crook finds out that the policeman lives close to his father he begins to stalk him. While getting close he starts an affair with the policeman's wife, still plotting revenge. This is a thriller with complex moral dilemmas.

P.S. Why does this DVD cost $33 in America when it's only £5 in England?
