Iren Koster is a real auteur. Full of ideas that are realized on the screen with genuine skill and vision. Full of action and excitement.This is the hallmark of the Koster directorial approach. I unqualifiedly recommend this film all film aficionados who really enjoy entertainment and a thriller.These Australian actors are comparable to the finest American actors. Enjoyed the locations and great production value.I read that Koster's next project is the action comedy "Perfect Partners". I am looking forward to viewing it on the big screen.Koster has a knack for nabbing "A" talent like Eddie Griffin and Michael Clarke Duncan.

Dead End is loads of fun to watch. It keeps you in suspense until the very end. I'd recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a good mystery. A great addition to anyone's DVD collection. You'll enjoy re-watching this thriller to see what clues you missed along the way, and to find that you are just as surprised the second, or third time around. The romantic scenes between the stars is hot and steamy. Excellent direction all around, and the cast is superb. I can't wait to see more films from this writer/director. It's great to see some new talent that has great stories to tell. It's not often that you're shocked at the end. Great job!

I am a big fan of thrillers and I have to say that Dead End fulfills all of your expectations if you want to make your heart race and jump out of your seat. It's also a film where you'll find yourself wondering just who the real killer is. I'm usually good at figuring out what's going to happen next. However, this does not fit the formula. It has too many red herrings to sidetrack your thinking. In fact, I had no clue until the ending where we finally see just who the culprit really is. I thought the story was exceptional, the actors are terrific and the movie looks really good. You have to love the Australian locations. This film would make a great poster for tourism. Oh yeah, there's a scene where the two lead actors are driving around having dinner in a tram car restaurant. That was the first time I've ever seen anything like that. Talk about romantic. But beware if your faint hearted, some of the murder sequences are graphic and the sex scenes are very sexy. I would say done with good taste but still very sexy. If you want a great ride into the world of psychological thrillers, then Dead End is a good bet. I recommend it highly.

I was pleasantly surprised by this well done thriller. I usually can predict instinctively who the killer is, but this time I was totally fooled. Clever writing and well directed. The Australian actors are excellent. Top notch production value with locations that are gorgeous. I recommend this movie to all Hitchcock and thriller fans.
