KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Saad Khan CRUSH – TRASH IT ( D ) I knew from the promos that Crush is an average thriller so, sometimes these average thrillers becomes quite entertaining because of Sex, Glamour and fear. Unfortunately, here they had the perfect young cast but they didn't utilize them well and in the end it became a mediocre Mixture of Thriller/Horror and Supernatural. Nasty Dish! The most Annoying & laughable scenes in the movie were the Sex scenes. I don't know what the director was thinking? Just tell me guys who has Sex with clothes On? No one in Real world But here they had! LOL :-D what a Shame! Chris Egan is a young Australian actor and the major reason I saw this movie in first place, as I loved his work in "Letters to Juliet". He is quite inspiring even in this mediocre Trash he kept me going. Emma Lung looks Stunning in Red Swim suit but otherwise she looks old N weird. Brooke Harmon was an average blonde both in talent & beauty. So, Simply Trash this One!
corky-27 gets more and more preposterous as it goes along. I expected great things from Emma Lung when I saw her first a few years back in Peaches (with Hugo Weaving). She shows the same promise here, albeit with a poorly underwritten role; the fact that she fills out a bikini quite nicely doesn't hurt, either. In fact, both young leads (Chris Egan plays Julian, her reluctant paramour) do the best they can with the material, but the fault here lies with the story and script. Julian is an American kick-boxing up-and-comer, studying architecture at college in Australia. Strapped for cash, he accepts a short-term job as a solo house-sitter in a luxurious gated home, and then things start getting weird when the owner's niece Anna (Ms. Lung) starts sneaking in at all times of the day, in various states of undress, with an ever-present "come hither" look in her eyes. Alas, at this point all starts going downhill, with things becoming more and more far-fetched every time Julian awakens from another one of his "dreams". If you're a fan of either Mr. Egan or Ms. Lung, watch this one at your own peril. Otherwise, save yourself the time and effort, and throw The Exorcist into your player for the umpteenth time. You've been warned...
Kashmirgrey Crush had enough going for it that it could have been a decent and original femme fatale film with its supernatural spin. Unfortunately, despite the rave reviews, it's a very limp flick.Julian (played by Heath Ledger/Ryan Phillippe wanna-be Christopher Egan) has a lot going for him; a scholarship studying architecture, a loving girlfriend, and a blossoming martial arts hobby. When he agrees to house sit an upscale home in suburban Australia, he meets Anna (Emma Lung) and decides to put it all on the line by bedding her down. Of course it is no surprise that when Julian tries to have his cake and eat it too, Anna isn't too keen on the idea wanting him all to herself.Sound familiar? Well it is. Where it had the potential to be frightening it fails comically. Part of its problem is that Egan's acting is so shallow the audience doesn't give two hoots for the guy and his self imposed peril. In fact, I found myself cheering for the villain, actually sympathizing with her that she would desire such a twit.Spare yourself some grief and rent Fatal Attraction. Even if you have already seen it, a second or even third viewing will be far more engaging than this fodder.
Alana Mair For those of us who HAVE seen this film, I think we all know that the comments from "Craig" are more based on a personal vendetta to condemn this film rather than deconstruct it in an analytical and professional manner.For a start, you can not go past the brilliant cast employed by Nexus. Whilst Chris may have started his career on Home and Away that is in no way a reason for him "apparently" having NO acting skills whatsoever. Many Home and Away actors have made in big in Hollywood and Chris is one of them (if none of you have seen Kings yet, you're sorely missing out). On top of that, you've got Emma Lung who has been in 48 Shades of Brown, Cooks and Entourage(USA) as well as Jenna Lind, one of Australia's greatest young talents who has this year alone been on Underbelly and 30 Seconds(Foxtel).To add to this, the filming conducted by the amazing crew in Perth brings a touch of professionalism to the production that you rarely see in other Australian films (i.e Wolf Creek, Prey etc). The colors, camera movement and shot types are impeccably orchestrated right to the very end, similar to the American horror film you would normally encounter at the box office.Finally, the overall narrative of the film is unlike anything you would have, or will find in Australian cinemas this year. Crush keeps you guessing right to the very end of the film about what is going to happen to our main characters and doesn't desensitize us by trying to scare us every two seconds. This is probably why "Craig from Canada" refers to the film's pacing as "terrible". Frankly, I would much rather watch a horror film which keeps me on the edge of me seat with suspense like the old classics of the 1970s and 80s rather than have my sense constantly bombarded with violence and manipulating scenes.All in all, this is a brilliant effort by a first time director and production company and not only does it deserve a chance, it deserves a better reception than the one it is receiving from people who are more interested in spreading vicious rumours than actual reviews.
