Review of The Square (2008) by Dan Y — 16 Oct 2010
A fine thriller from Australia. Ray Yale is in charge of a construction project to build a fancy hotel near Sydney. He's got it all, a good career, a wife, a nice house, but there's something else he wants more than anything - his neighbor's wife, Carla, whom he is engaged in an affair with. Ray and Carla hatch a plan to make off with some money amid a staged break in, but it goes terribly awry. Things are set in motion and they keep escalating as the two lovers attempt to conceal their adultery and their crimes from not only the authorities, but from Carla's dangerously short tempered husband Greg.
Cool twists as well as an ending that made me jump up and yell 'Oh hell!' I recommend turning on subtitles though, as the Aussie accents and slang can cause things to be missed.
