Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

WatchingInPerth Well, I am from Perth & IMHO the only honest review on this page is from the much maligned 'Craig in Canada'.I won't reinvent the wheel; Craig hit the nail on the head. That anyone could describe this cast in such glowing terms, much less the plot & scriptwriting is beyond me.Within seconds of Egan opening his mouth, I was cringing at his awful accent. And as has been pointed out, that he is supposedly American adds nothing to the plot, so why torture us?The frat boy friends are a complete mystery. And as for the supposed 'can't see it coming from a mile off' ending....spare me. Saw it coming from about 10 minutes in.I'm all for encouraging good local film making. But this is most definitely NOT it! I can't see anyone independent of the production company who made this lemon holding the glowing views that have been expressed here. And the endless references to Nexus by name pretty much confirm that to be the case.If you're missing your dose of bad Australian soapie in the off-season, then maybe this will take the edge off. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother.

Chloe Hughes I've been following this film since early '08 (found on IMDb) and i couldn't wait to finally have my copy of Crush on DVD!! First of all it's nothing like Swimfan which was predictable, Crush had me glued to the screen from start to finish-Chris did a good job on his American accent but the real star was Emma Lung as the obsessed Anna who seriously has a future in this industry, can't wait to see more of her in more roles. Nexus six has done a great job at employing who's who of next generation of Australia's actors- Christian Clark, Brooke Harman, Jenna Lind and Kane Manera- well done and i can't wait to see more nexus six films!

kemum08 I just bought it last week and watched it and I loved it! Being a tae kwon do devotee in my younger days I loved the fight scenes and the music was fantastic. I thought Chris Egan and Emma Lung were brilliant. I faintly remember Chris Egan from Home and Away but that was a long time ago and he is a solid actor, he is perfect in this role. He doesn't look too bad either! Emma Lung is absolutely gorgeous and is an absolute standout in this movie. Her progression from seductress to something a lot more is incredible to watch. What a great story with some really neat twists. I am going out to buy some more copies for Christmas presents!

Craig Don't be seduced by the user rating. This movie is awful, probably one of the worst I've ever seen.If you're familiar with Home and Away, you'll probably recognise the main character. You'll also recognise the standard of acting, perhaps even the quality of writing.Our main character Julian is American for some imperceptible reason, but unfortunately his accent wavers between Australian and some poor attempt at vague American sounding. The writers aren't really imaginative enough to come up with a reason for anything, so apparently he's an American on a Student Visa studying architecture and doing martial arts. This ultimately has nothing to do with the movie and fails to tie you to the character.The pacing is terrible, frankly if you do happen to make it to the last 15 minutes the payoff isn't really worth it.If you can put aside the terrible Aussie soap style writing, the crappy plot, the bad acting and the unsatisfying payoff, you might get some nice views of Perth. So that's good I guess.Note: For those attacking my person, I appreciate that it's much easier to launch personal attacks and speculate about my interests in why this film sucks, so by all means knock yourself out. I'm also pleased to inform you that I am actually Australian (although I spend time in Canada too), which I figured would've been obvious based on my comments.
