Watch Backtrack For Free

You won't be disappointed!

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Very pleasantly surprised. Adrien Brody just delivers a genuinely believable performance. This thriller mystery is not to be mistaken as a horror but that doesn't mean there are no jumpy scenes ! which I might add are perfectly timed to give the goose bumps. Decent directing unveiling the plot at a steady pace to stay mysterious yet kept the mind ticking. No spoilers just watch it, you will be entertained. RG

A thriller quite different from Sixth Sense. Backtrack develops the conceptual plot that was initially introduced. Comparing the two films enables to audience to consider the genre and alerts them to the further establishment of the genre. Suspense and mysteries unfold establishing divine justice paralleled to that of Peter, the main character. He is the vehicle through which the story is told, values are expounded and his character revealed when he is forced to make split second judgments. Living in a small world of significant relationships he learns to consider his future in terms of eternity. Giving the audience one possible framework.

A psychologist who recently lost his young daughter through an auto accident because of his own carelessness is shocked to realize all his patients and even the friend who referred them are deceased. Investigation reveals all were killed in a train accident happening in his home town when the psychologist was a teenager. His return to discover why he's being haunted forms the basis of this story.Though the beginning is somewhat slow-moving with several non-speaking scenes, perhaps showing the tedium of his existence, once the little girl called Elizabeth Valentine comes to his office, things begin to pick up. What started out as a psychological horror drama of a man haunted by the belief he caused his child's death changes to a suspense mystery as he discovers reports of the train accident and his own memories don't coincide and the ghosts are asking for a retribution other than his own memories can supply.This film was made in New South Wales so other than Adrien Brody and Sam Neill, most of the cast won't be recognizable to American audiences but it's well-acted and well-cast. Mr. Brody, whom I consider a very underrated and rarely-used actor, underplays his part with a relentless but non-histrionic resoluteness in determining exactly what happened. There are several "shock" scenes and a tricky plot which twists back upon itself before the final resolve.A good film for a Halloween night.

Adrien Brody has to be one of the least appealing actors in Hollywood. The man has a complete lack of charisma. You can have all the acting chops you want, but if you can't be entertaining (or even watchable) on screen then what is the point? Sadly, he was enough to ruin a movie that was otherwise right up my alley. The ghost plot point I could easily leave (and I'm not even sure it added much to the movie anyway), but the mystery/thriller side of things was actually very well crafted and disguised. Is Brody even that much of draw card to audiences these days? Has he turned in anything noteworthy in recent years? The film makers obviously thought so, flying him all the way to Australia to be the star of their film. When you do that and the guy turns out to be the one thing that ruins your movie, you'd have to be a little upset. The local actors actually quite impressed me and Sam Neill turned in his usual cool, calm and collected performance. There was potential for a very good thriller here. Disappointingly though, the end result is something pretty forgettable.
