Ordinary people find extraordinary courage in the face of madness. On 13–14 November 1990 that madness came to Aramoana, a small New Zealand seaside town, in the form of a lone gunman with a high-powered semi-automatic rifle. As he stalked his victims the terrified and confused residents were trapped for 24 hours while a handful of under-resourced and under-armed local policemen risked their lives trying to find him and save the survivors. Based on true events.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The usual dramatic affectations applied to such true-life material are largely absent; instead, Sarkies focuses on various quotidian elements that take on weight as the inevitable draws closer.
– David Fear,
Time Out New York,
18 Oct 2008
fresh:
Sarkies avoids the genre's conventional trappings and prefers instead to concentrate on the ways in which the people of Aramoana deal with the unfolding event.
– V.A. Musetto,
New York Post,
19 Oct 2007
fresh:
Robert Sarkies' dramatization of that event is as sensitive to its subject as it is stark in its rendering.
– Jack Mathews,
New York Daily News,
19 Oct 2007
rotten:
Without such thematic resonance, it plays like a more elaborate version of one of the dramatic re-creations seen on any number of true-crime television programs.
– Frank Scheck,
Hollywood Reporter,
19 Oct 2007
fresh:
Like Steven Spielberg's historical epics, the film shows the nastiest incidents from a great distance, or cuts away before a bullet's impact to show an onlooker's shocked reaction. The director confronts horror without wallowing in it.
