Excellent premise sets up a gritty, real-life film, with similarities to many recent novels for teenagers which deal with choices in exceptional circumstances. Jared is played well by Breuls, who was seen earlier on Home and Away but has been in the wilderness since, and who manages to hold his own in a bumper cast which includes Hollywood star Ledger, and acclaimed actors Davis, Field, Haywood, Hopkins, Horler and Howard. Jessica Napier can be seen on McLeod's Daughters and Lyndon is fast becoming very hot property in this country. The lifestyle of the surfie teens is set up very well, giving an accurate portrayal of
the sex-drugs ritual many of them put themselves through - boredom is suggested as a decisive driving factor here. But the main element of the film deals with Jared's choices - does he stay silent to protect a
mate, or will his conscience win over? It's difficult to find a bad component of this film, which, like The Castle,
was very unlucky not to win Best Film at the AFI Awards for that year.
