Bring Him to Me (2023)
Bring Him to Me (2023) is a dark, slow-burning Australian crime thriller that draws inspiration from the gritty underworld classics. Directed by Luke Sparke, the film delivers a moody and claustrophobic narrative, centered around loyalty, betrayal, and the thin line between right and wrong.
The story follows a getaway driver (Barry Pepper), a quiet and brooding figure who is tasked by a brutal crime boss to transport a young man, played by Jamie Costa, to an undisclosed location. As the journey unfolds, secrets come to light, and a tension-fueled psychological chess game begins. The film gradually peels back the layers of both characters, revealing trauma, regrets, and questions of morality.
Barry Pepper delivers a restrained yet powerful performance, channeling inner conflict with subtle intensity. Jamie Costa is impressive as the young man caught in the storm, bringing both vulnerability and fire to the screen. The limited setting—mostly inside the car—amplifies the tension, making each line of dialogue and expression count.
What sets Bring Him to Me apart is its minimalist approach. Rather than flashy action or high-paced drama, it leans into atmosphere and character-driven storytelling. It’s not a typical crime film, but one that broods and simmers until its final emotional punch.
While the pacing may not appeal to all viewers, those who appreciate noir-inspired narratives and morally gray characters will find it gripping. It’s a stylish, low-key thriller that explores how far a man can be pushed before making a choice that changes everything.
