The film tells the story of a dysfunctional gang of criminals who takes a middle class Maori family hostage and end up in hot water after knowing that they are cannibals.
while Mulheron's film works perfectly well as an over-the-top caper-like cluster***k of clashing values and transgressive tropes, it also has just enough locally sourced meat on the bone to emerge with its own peculiar textures and flavours.
