Sinopsis(1)
El agente federal Aaron Falk vuelve a la localidad donde nació, tras más de 20 años, para ir al funeral de su amigo de la infancia Luke. Al fallecido se acusa de haber matado a su esposa e hijo antes de quitarse la vida, víctima de la locura que ha hecho estragos en la comunidad, tras más de una década de sequía. Cuando Falk acepta quedarse e investigar el crimen, reabre una vieja herida: la muerte de la joven Ellie Deacon, cuando tenía 17 años de edad. Falk comienza a sospechar que estos dos crímenes, separados por décadas, están conectados. En sus intentos por demostrar no solo la inocencia de Luke, sino también la suya propia, Falk tiene que enfrentarse a los prejuicios en su contra y a la ira reprimida por una comunidad conmocionada.

A fairly standard detective story that disregards proper investigative procedures, The Dry drops Eric Bana, whom I usually like, into a small Australian town and lets him navigate the unfolding plot. While it has a few bright spots, they mostly come towards the end, making for a bit of a slog to get there.

A crime drama without murders is like a brothel without whores – this is no Se7en. The Dry is a relatively well-directed and well-acted drama (there are sadly very few crime elements), without any proper investigation or gathering of evidence. The two hours drag on like a leaky faucet, nothing interesting, innovative, or refreshing happens, and personally, I have no desire to waste time on something like this. The ending is relatively decent and the music is noteworthy, but that extremely unengaging slow pace is lethal. 4/10.

A very good, old-fashioned detective story with a strong dramatic foundation and slow revealing of facts in both cases. Arid Australia, just one discarded cigarette butt away from a destructing fire, captivating music, great cast with a precise Bana, dead calves lying around on trucks and unclear culprits almost till the very end. Nice, slow investigations hardly ever get to be filmed and that’s a big shame.

A nicely civil detective story with a hero who surprisingly doesn't fight, shoot, or make cool jokes, and yet for two hours the viewer is quite entertained by a solid plot, good actors, and a decent script. A smart crime drama with an easy-to-grasp plot premise where someone has done something in an unassuming small town and an uninvited guest in the form of Eric Bana must find out who, what, how among the old-timers – something like Prisoners, mixed Hell or High Water. Similarly grounded and relatively raw, but unlike the two aforementioned hits, here the individual props and directorial handwriting are not quite up to scratch.
