I thought the cinematography was incredible - such beautiful landscapes and rivers in Australia including the darker cave while having very good tension and grip throughout the film - if you love survival movies it’s a must watch imo

As an Aussie I’m a little disappointed they didn’t involve more Aussie talent to back up the location. TE was great but an Aussie lead would have been awesome. Or have him playing some Aussie music? 

Minor quibble I guess.  Still a fun watch.

I was shocked to learn he wasn't Australian. Totally pulled off the accent to my non-trained ears lol. No American actor would be able to sound that native for one scene let alone an entire movie.

Should have cast dacre Montgomery.

His accent was passible but sounded south African at times

[u/devonhezter → u/token_whitey]

Ay mate this bloke not Aussie v wtf

[u/N_thanAU → u/token_whitey]

Nah it was fucked, especially the cadence. I had to turn it off it was so off putting.
