Trivia:
Reviewer Greg "Roy" King said of the meaning of this movie's 'Swerve' title: "The title itself is evocative, not only because it refers to cars suddenly swerving or veering around an obstacle, but because it also refers to the various characters changing their moral outlook in the face of temptation and unexpected situations."

I saw Swerve at the Melbourne International Film Festival last year.
What a ride! The films' director Craig Lahiff (previous film fame
Heavens' Burning (Russell Crowe) and Black and White (Robert Carlyle))
prefaced the screening by saying "have fun" I sure did! Too often
Aussie audiences seem to take Aussie films too seriously, this was just
good old' entertainment and the audience really got into it! Swerve is
an action packed and sexy neo-noir thriller with twists, turns and all
sorts of goodies in-between. It's a confident film and knows how to
have some fun. The twisting plot always keeps you on your toes and the
hot Aussie stars David Lyons, Emma Booth and Jason Clarke are all well
cast for their roles. It was great to see an Australian film with some
proper action in it. Roy Billing and Chris Haywood make some colorful
cameos. Travis McMahon plays a ripper of a bad guy and it was good to
see Vince Colosimo in some rough-house fight sequences. Hopefully
Swerve comes out in cinemas soon everywhere it plays it gets a great
response. Australia should make more movies like this!
