Australia has a rich history of producing talented filmmakers in the crime thriller genre, which has propelled many Australian stars to successful careers in Hollywood. The latest addition to this canon is the new crime drama, Transfusion, which tells the story of a former special forces operative who has found his life taken away from him after the tragic loss of his wife and unborn child. With a strong performance from Sam Worthington as the film’s main character, Ryan, Transfusion explores themes of grief, loss, and redemption, as Ryan turns to the criminal underground to survive.
The film is written and directed by Matt Nable, who is no stranger to the crime thriller genre, having written the screenplays for other popular films such as Outlaws and The Final Winter. Nable’s direction brings a gritty realism to the story, which translates well to the screen. The supporting cast, including Phoebe Tonkin and Damian de Montemas, also deliver strong performances.

For those who prefer to watch at home, Transfusion can be streamed on the Australian streaming service Stan.
In addition to the release of Transfusion, there are several other Australian crime thrillers that fans of the genre may enjoy. These include Animal Kingdom, The Square, Two Hands, and Gettin’ Square. Each of these films showcases the talent of Australian filmmakers and actors, and offers a unique perspective on the crime thriller genre.
