After a vengeful classmate straps a bomb to his chest, university student Scotty Campbell finds himself caught up in a deadly chase through the streets and laneways of Melbourne. Running for his life, Scotty must stay at least 10 metres away from his assailant or the bomb detonates. As the police get involved, what begins as a simple act of revenge intensifies into in a citywide manhunt with deadly consequences.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again there are independent movies out there that make independent movies look bad and then there ones that make them look good. 10 Metres is one of the movies that Independent movies look great, and what is really cool it’s Australian. This was a brilliant first feature by director Rory Noke, I was particularly impressed by Stefan Taylor’s performance as Carl Fish. Fish seemed to have no redeemable qualities about him, yet by the end of the movie I found myself pitying him.
