Review - The Dry on Tubi
Looking for a movie packed full of surprises? Try THE DRY, an Australian thriller starring Eric Bana, directed by Robert Connolly, with a screenplay by Connolly and Harry Cripps.
The film is based on the novel by Jane Harper and also stars Genevieve O’Reilly, Keir O’Donnell, and John Polson.
It’s available on some subscription services, i.e. Acorn, Sundance Now, and AMC+ and for rent on others. Lucky for you, it’s available to stream free on my favorite free service, Tubi.
The film was released in Australia in 2021, received positive reviews from critics, and made its way to the U.S.
Since this is a series of books based on the main character, Aaron Falk, portrayed so well by Bana, that a movie squel also starring Bana was produced and released last year.
I’m looking for it on the streaming services. The sequel, The Dry 2, is based on the second book of the series, Force of Nature.
ABOUT THE DRY
Australian federal agent Aaron Falk returns to his drought-stricken home town to attend a funeral for one of his high school buddies. Falk left the town immediately after high school, under a cloud of suspicion that he had killed a girl who was part of their friends group.
Stalwart and determined, he senses something is wrong with the official verdict of his friend’s death. Somehow, his death may be tied to the girl’s death years ago. Now in law enforcement, he doggedly pursues the truth.
MY TAKE ON THE MOVIE
The movie has layers that peel away like an onion to reveal the secrets and lies in what seems like a peaceful town. The atmosphere is ike a slow fuse burning that eventually ignites a powder keg of violence. One surprise after another builds the suspense. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, you’ll learn you’re wrong.
Eric Bana is superb in this role.
TAKEAWAY TRUTH
If you’re looking for an intelligent story with “real” people, not a super hero rehash, watch THE DRY. Leave a comment and let me know how you like it.
