Hit man thrillers are a dime a dozen, but director Dru Brown's Aussie variation on the familiar genre takes some seriously clever, nasty turns.
An oddball male weepie whose curious mixture of sweetness and sadism is well anchored by two solid, character-rich lead performances.
There are signs of clichéd filmmaking from the beginning in the flat close-ups and over-used score, but the performances carry Suicide Theory for a surprisingly long time.
Although Michael J. Kospiah's script isn't exactly predictable or didactic, it does feel contrived and improbable on occasion.
Theory’s premise dares to interrogate what, if anything, the apparent randomness of life means. Brown and screenwriter Michael J. Kospiah haven’t the foggiest, but they’re willing to unload as many harebrained plot twists as it takes to obfuscate the question.
