Bruce B @bruce1945 Jul 9 A good noir epic that has been proved things go wrong and unintended consequences occur. A good example of Murphy s law. See more Alain E @AlainE Jun 16 This reminds me of a James Hadley Chase crime novel. It is a case of where everything that could go wrong, does. The two heroes however never consider to call it quits. Ultimately their survival rate is just fifty percent. On Prime.

See more dave s @RT68722908 02/02/2022 While it doesn't really add anything new to the noir-inspired, ‘I think we're in way over our heads' style of thriller, The Square is still a pretty entertaining way to kill some time. Ray and Carla are lovers, both cheating on their spouses, who decide to steal a satchel full of money from Carla's husband, who has hidden the bag of cash in the attic. It all seems pretty straightforward until the plan goes horribly wrong, resulting is a nasty chain of blackmail and murder. Despite their stupidity, the two lead characters are interesting and the film moves along at a brisk clip, keeping you guessing along the way. There are a lot of better films of this type (Fargo, A Simple Plan, etc), but there's nothing wrong with spending some time watching The Square.

A clandestine affair with a young neighbour and a mismanaged plot to steal her husband's stash of cash leads inevitably to death and disaster. This Australian neo-noir comes so close to being brilliant - it's very well acted, photographed and directed - that it's a genuine shame that the final quarter slips into almost comic melodrama, with far too many plot beats to stay the right side of plausible. But never mind: it's still a great deal better than most modern thrillers. See more Read all reviews
