Saville’s direction maintains a taut, suspenseful atmosphere throughout, making 'Felony' a gripping exploration of human frailty and the consequences of our actions. With a solid critical reception, including a notable 68% on Rotten Tomatoes, this Australian thriller offers a profound look at the ethical tightropes law enforcement officers must walk.
