Eric Bana.
Bana plays a fed agent returning to his childhood village where a long-ago co-worker of his allegedly murdered his wife and young son before blowing his head off with the shotgun. The plot seems trite, but it avoids many of the clichéd details that plague lesser films: Bana is surprisingly laid back. The supporting cast elevates the film, showcasing the wealth of excellent character actors in Australia--- and the prevalence of beautiful actresses with the talent to match.
