Set over a gripping 48 hours, THE COST tells the story of two ordinary men David (Jordan Fraser-Trumble) and Aaron (Damon Hunter) who abduct a newly released felon Troy (Kevin Dee) who committed a horrific crime years before. Intent on delivering their own brutal form of justice, David and Aaron come face-to-face with the man who destroyed their lives. But will they succeed in their violent quest for justice -- or will the true cost of vengeance prove too high?

2.5/5

The Cost, a low budget Australian revenge thriller directed by Matthew Holmes, would be more effective if it were less brutal.

3.5/5

This superbly acted, compellingly staged study in vigilante psychology will be too grey-shaded for some, who may interpret the narrative trajectory as a pro-argument for personal justice; others [will] will lap up scenes of brutal payback.

4/5

An outstanding small-scale thriller that grabs you by the throat from the get-go and never lets go, tightening its grip as a seemingly straightforward situation gets ever more complicated...Performances throughout are totally convincing.

4/5

The fact that the film looks and feels so natural makes it one of the best crime thrillers of the year.

The Cost [is] an unnerving, white-knuckle thriller that pulses with a palpable dread that will leave you shaking.
