Christopher Skase. He ruled Australia and stole a fortune, fleeing to the coast of Spain. No one could touch him. No one could stop him. Until Peter Dellasandro and a small force of men swore they'd bring him down.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Getting Christopher Skase was really a big deal in Australia back in the 1990's. This film brought back quite a few memories of the public's outrage at Skase's escape from the Australians who wanted his blood. The file footage, especially the 'Denton' stuff (what a great show that was) gives "Let's Get Skase" a very solid base to start this box office under performer.After the file footage "Let's Get Skase" goes about in a fairly predictable manner for those who have seen a few Oz comedies since "The Castle". Lots of oddball "loser" types fighting against a mightier and arrogant power. Thankfully as the film goes on one can't help but enjoy watching the determined Aussies, led by bulls@@t artist Peter Dellasandro (Lachy Hulme) and angry Danny D'Amato (Alex Dimitriades), trying to get their hands around the neck of the Oz holy grail, (that being Christopher Skase).The acting is pretty hammy at times but suitable for the film. I loved the appearance of the slimy character Beneheim Bencini (George Shevtsov). For my money he is the creepiest looking and sounding actor in Australia (and a good one too, check out "Love Serenade").The timing of the film's release in relation to Skase's death, as mentioned in other sources, meant that you would be seen as an out and out weirdo to see it at the time. However, at a time when funny Oz films seem to be as rare as a sweet smelling fart, it is a film definitely worth checking out.

I enjoyed this film for a number of reasons.Firstly, it was well written. It contained excellent character development, a well constructed plot and funny dialogue. Not to mention excellent action sequences.Secondly, it was well cast. The actors are obviously all of a high standard and suited their roles perfectly.Finally, direction. Director Matthew George has done a fantastic job utilising the resources available - camerawork was great, editing was first rate and so was the soundtrack. Overall, i am most impressed with this element, and the movie in general.I hope you enjoy it.

This is good.The Skase subject was very touchy, and they did a good job of just telling a story. Highly fictional, with elements of facts, it is a solid storyline.I am not sure if the flag scene was to my liking, but I understood what they were trying to do. The people I was watching it with thought it was hysterical.Loved all the stuff in the van and at Skase's mansion. Worth a watch.

This was a good film. Certain things could have been a little tighter, but overall it was a good effort.The laser net sequence and the last thirty minutes is off the scale with action and quite unlike most comedies and films in general to come out of Australia.What's with the lead actors' hair? I hope this was a character choice. Regardless, he was very good and his speech in front of the aussie flag is a classic!
