Reviews
“A fast-paced thriller that has enough surprises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats."
Stephen Romei - The Australian
“Soto effectively ratchets up the tension from scene to gripping scene, and makes Kate such a strong, sympathetic figure – and the bad guys such reprehensible shit-heels – that audiences will likely let out a cheer when she gets out her bow and arrows and sets about using the villains for target practice. Smartly put together and entertaining, Avarice is a rock-solid homegrown thriller."

“The moments that Soto and his pro team of contributors make work - solid character acting, pacy action moments and arrow-on-antagonist payback make Avarice another mid-budget milestone for the filmmaker”
