X

Two women behind different doors of the sex trade cross paths when they witness a brutal murder. Holly Rowe, a veteran escort with nerves made of steel, teams up with Shay Ryan, a younger runaway looking for a way out. The witness revelation pulls them into a web of danger where the line between protector and prey blurs. As they dodge a violent pursuer and a corrupt circle that guards its own rules, they lean on each other in a desperate bid to survive. The film follows their imposed alliance through neon drenched streets, seedy rooms, and perilous encounters that heighten the stakes with every encounter. What begins as flight becomes a test of trust, grit, and survival against odds.

Directed by Jon Hewitt with a story by Belinda McClory, X arrived in 2011 as an Australian action thriller. The film pairs a strong female led cast with an urban mood, drawing on a crime backdrop to fuel its pace.

Box office figures for X are not widely published, reflecting its limited release and niche appeal. The film circulated in select markets and film festivals, with commercial numbers not central to its reception, and audiences were interested in its atmosphere.

No major award nominations are listed for X in prominent databases, and it did not win well known accolades. Some smaller festival honors may exist outside mainstream circuits, but the film failed to gather the high profile recognitions common to its genre peers. Some critics noted bold visuals and mood.

Critics note the film for its stark look at the sex trade and the bond that forms under pressure. It probes power, survival, and trust between two women while maintaining a relentless tempo that keeps the viewer on edge. The performances anchor the tension throughout the film as well, effectively.
