Movie Haiku:Price (who also co-wrote screenplay) stars with Edgerton in this terrific drama about an Australian couple who get in way over their heads while vacationing at a Cambodian beach resort. Action cross-cuts in time to draw us into "the mystery" after we have come to care about the characters, & cinematography & sound design lock us into the intensity of their POV.
