5/10
Easy there

Boy, this is an odd one. The first half hour is a straight up hardcore Aussie crime flick. Then it turns into a semi-comical romance...and then into a story of a junkie and police corruption...and then back to a mob film...and then a couple on the run movie...and then a car chase movie...and finally a story of sacrifice and redemption (peppered with running from the Nazis/WW2 references). They were a bit ambitious there. It reminds me of LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS but without the style. I really liked the guy who played the old enforcer Jack. The scene where he met up with the karate guy in the dark alley is great. If you like your Australian films a bit on the sleazy side, this'll do!
