I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

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

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Comedy crime film combines the two genres flawlessly. Loved the Burt Bacharach-origami-chess-Scrabble-loving gangster played by Bryan Brown. And Rose Byrne and Heath Ledger early in their careers are both wonderful. SPOILER: The final shot is of Heath's wide smile. Happy ending.

I like how the events in the movie are coming one after another and each one is caused by the previous. The movie has a good structure and is shot by the right angles. Everyone who is begging to make movies should watch it, it is a perfect example for a great composition in film. Seems to me that the older movies focused on the details more and the acting is more expressive. A simple parts are made with art and good play. Heath is born to be in front of the camera, even at the beginning of his career he is so deep into his role and make such a professional play. This film is a gem for the movie industry.

I had never heard of this movie, but I like Heath Ledger and Bryan Brown and the story sounded interesting, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I found it to be very enjoyable. Heath Ledger plays a 19 year old who works a kind of crappy job and wants to start making some serious dough, so he goes and asks for work from mobster Bryan Brown. I won't go into details but things go very bad for Ledger and gets into big trouble with Bryan Brown. From their on the movie just gets better and better, with one scene involving Ledger hooking up with a pair of bank robbers. And lets not forget the beautiful Rose Byrne, who plays Ledger's love interest. I would definitely recommend this movie.
