Mahood (Robert Mammone)'s downfall commences when he invites Colin (Russell Crowe) to be the getaway driver in a bank robbery he has plotted with his father, a former member of the Afghani secret police, played with chilling conviction by Petru Gheorghiu. Their heist is a resounding failure with one member of the gang experiencing an excruciating death when his neck becomes trapped in a security screen. Mahood, with his father Boorjan (Petru Gheorghiu), pursue Colin and Midori (Youki Kudoh) across the country. Only Colin's death will redeem Mahood's honour and satisfy his father. Their pursuit culminates in the film's most horrific scene in which Boorjan's talent as a torturer of consummate skill emerges, to Mahood's barely suppressed panic. Mammone explained: "For Mahood, it's a terrible experience. It's like when you agree to do something and then when it starts to happen, you'd give anything to exit the situation."
