“Intersection” (**1/2 out of four) was a jagged thriller about wealthy business owner conman (Matt Doran) who receives a frantic call while on the road that his son has been abducted and he is forced to drive through the midnight hours of Sydney and complete an escalating series of tasks to appease the unseen kidnapper and save his son’s (and his own) life. Tense story is stylishly shot and directed but begins to lose its grip in its final third as story becomes frustratingly pretentious and surreal; still worthwhile overall. No relation to the 1994 Richard Gere/Sharon Stone thriller of the same name but bears some resemblance to the 2002 thriller “Phone Booth” with Colin Farrell/Kiefer Sutherland.
