Temptation turns a man's life upside down in this noir-influenced thriller from Australia. Ray Yale (David Roberts) is a construction worker who is married to Martha (Lucy Bell) and is helping to build an upscale resort hotel just outside Sydney. Ray isn't entirely happy in his marriage, and his roving eye has become focused on Carla (Claire van der Boom), a hairdresser who lives next door. Carla is married to a low-level mobster, Greg (Anthony Hayes), but she craves excitement and is soon having a torrid affair with Ray. Carla knows that Greg has a large bundle of cash hidden in their home, and she hatches a scheme she shares with Ray -- they steal they money, set fire to the house, and run off together, with Greg imagining the cash was lost in the blaze. While Ray isn't interested in a life of crime, he can't say no to Carla, but when he develops cold feet at the last minute, his attempts to reach Billy (Joel Edgerton), who was hired to torch the house, are unsuccessful, and things take a turn for the worse when he learns that Greg's aged mother was in the house when it burned to the ground. Ray quickly realizes he's been implicated in a murder, and Billy doesn't hesitate to use this knowledge to his advantage. The Square was the first directorial project for Nash Edgerton, who previously was one of the leading stuntmen in the Aussie film industry. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Three teenagers find their longtime friendship crumbling after enlisting the aid of a ruthless serial killer in ridding themselves of a relentless bully in this dark thriller from Redball director Jon Hewitt. High school has been a living hell for shy teens Mark (Sebastian Gregory) and James (Joshua Payne); classroom bully Gary Parker has made it his life's mission to ensure that their suffering doesn't end until they graduate, and it's obvious he relishes his work. Now that graduation day is drawing near, Mark and James begin making plans to strike back at Gary with a vengeance. Then, shortly after the disappearance of a female classmate, Mark discovers a fresh grave in the woods near his quiet suburban neighborhood, and witnesses an SUV speeding away from the scene. Returning to the site later that day with James and his girlfriend, Chasely (Hanna Mangan-Lawrence), Mark decides to grab a shovel and go to work. No one expected to find anything more incriminating than a dead family pet, so when the earth splits open to reveal the corpse of a Canadian backpacker, the trio makes it their mission to track down the killer and blackmail him into exacting violent revenge on their old nemesis Gary. But this is one killer who doesn't play by the rules, and by the time he turns the tables on Mark, Gary, and Chasely, the three teens realize that their only hope for escape is to confront their darkest fears head-on. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
