Swerve - 2011 - 6/10
Man driving through Australian oblivion witnesses a spectacular car smash.
One driver is injured, the other is pieces parts. There is also a briefcase, crammed with money.
Boyscout to the core, our man hands the cash over to authorities in Neverest.
Turns out several parties are interested in those banknotes. The body count begins to rise.
Neo Noir under blinding sun has double crosses, femme fatale, missing characters, slippery histories.
Oh, and a mini-convention of local police marching bands. Twists vie with formula.
SPOILER – During one sequence by midnight pool, I predicted, “Prepare for nude swimming.”
Prediction was correct. - END SPOILER
Acceptable thriller if one does not dwell on a couple unexplained mysteries.
