Claire has Fraser securely bound and gagged and the police are on their way. But what dire criminal activity has she prevented? She might be a stats geek by day, but at night her crime fighting alter ego comes out, a suburban vigilante superhero. As Fraser is forced to listen Claire relates the backstory that brought them to this moment.
The tape will be removed from his mouth, his chance to rebut the accusations, and maybe make some of his own. He might have taken a blow to the head, but is he the one who's damaged?
With lessons on the long lasting aftermath of bullying, and importance of being able to let go of grudges, there is some serious content to hand, and for all the tension of the situation there are several laughs too. But for much of the action all we get is Claire's monologue, and a greater degree of interaction and conflict would have been welcome. However there's a satisfyingly ambiguous ending on hand.
Helen Mackay makes a convincing nerd, and gradually reveals the vulnerable, flawed person within. Andy Clark does a good job as Fraser, but has little to really work with.
Enjoyable, certainly worth seeing, but there's a suspicion it could have been better.
