The new feature stars Theron as an adrenaline junkie who, after the loss of her husband, returns to the Australian outback for a solo trip that turns violent when she crosses paths with a serial killer (Egerton) who cons her into a cat-and-mouse chase through Wandarra National Park. DECIDER’s John Serba described this as a “classic Tight 90,” writing, “The film follows through on a fairly simple premise, jumping right to the action so we can quickly acclimate to its warm-to-hot temps, with Kormakur maintaining a level of velocity in the final hour that doesn’t allow the sweat to dry.”

The comedy, which DECIDER’s Radhika Menon compared to the laugh-out-loud classics like Mean Girls and Easy A, serves as a realistic and refreshingly funny depiction of college.
