Mercy Road (out Oct 26) is a stylish Aussie thriller about a father trying to locate his missing 12-year-old daughter. The point of difference is that it takes place entirely inside a ute as the dad makes stressed phone calls while driving on remote roads. The music is over-cooked but aside, this is gripping. Grade: B+.
