PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

boattop After reading the comments, I think only a couple of Americans liked the movie. The others, not. Truly an American trait, they seem to love their movies and theirs alone. This was a great little flick along the Guy Ritchie and Quentin Tarentino genre. As usual they just don't get it. What a sad isolated country it is. I live there for 6 months of the year and then back to Canada. Great nice folks but know nothing outside of their "fence" . My Yankee buddies don't even know what province Ottawa is in,let alone know that Ottawa is the capital of Canada. So for these critics giving bad reviews, consider the source. As for the flick, nicely made and good fun.

quantumXL The main reason i watch this movie because it had one of my favorite actor in it. He is the star of the "Big Bo" and Monsters inc. I love his soothing voice and singing (Although its nothing like Barry White and Usher) but his acting is GREAT. Well anyways about that movie. I really didn't understand the plot of it. It was about casino machines and stuff. and at the end of the movie john and the other kid get framed. i got bored through half the movie and basically fell asleep. so i was kinda disappointed in john because of choosing such a bad movie to star in. but i'll give it 7stars anyhow. Do i recommend this movie? if your a John Goodman fan its something to rent. if not just ditch it and find a nice good new movie to watch.

Steve Gough Ah, yeah!This is a nicely paced caper and its only real crime is the weak ending.It's been criminally undersold here, and sad to report I was alone in the dark corner of the multiplex I saw it in. As all the comments here are Australian and a year old, the film has obviously been leaked late to the rest of the world in advance of its video or dvd release. This is lacklustre treatment of a little gem.First and most important, you don't need to be Australian to understand the dialog. I wouldn't fault any of the performances, which pretty much match the characters' function in the film. Bryan Brown and Sam Neill stand out, inevitably, but John Goodman and Toni Colette are sound in support.I smiled from the moment this started to the closing credits, laughed out loud more than once, and salute the repeated use of "bouf-head" as a term of endearment.

benjymarks A truly Australian film which captures the life of mobsters in the Cross in Sydney in 1969. Very funny and even true to some facts, this movie is worthwhile to see and if you still think Americans dont belong in Australia, well, this is for you. Plenty of plot twists help to keep it going and even if you dont understand the language, if its on DVD you can just turn on the subtitles.Dont see it if you're not Australian - but if you are its a 8/10 easily.
