The Interview

The Interview is a 1998 Australian thriller film from writer-director Craig Monahan, and is the first of two films directed by Monahan. Almost the entire film takes place in a police interrogation room, with some short flashback sequences, and the cast consists primarily of three key actors—Hugo Weaving, Tony Martin, and Aaron Jeffery. Eddie Rodney Fleming is a quiet, nervous man who recently lost his job and family. One morning, Eddie is seized from his apartment for unknown reasons by two men claiming to be cops. They take him to headquarters and question him about a stolen car. But... as tempers rise and the truth is slowly unraveled, Eddie realizes there's more to this interview than meets the eye. The film was the 1998 AFI winner for Best Film, for Best Original Screenplay and for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role . An alternate ending of the film was featured on the DVD release. In this version, Eddie Rodney Fleming is seen hitchhiking along a desolate road. A car stops and Barry Walls offers him a ride.
