GazerRise Fantastic!
Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
ladytiamat One of the hallmarks of Australian comedies is enthusiasm, especially in the service of total absurdity. This film takes all the elements of a typical "American action film" and ratchets them up to Aussie levels. Sure it's ridiculous -- it's meant to be. What I like is the way the writer-director-acting-in-it-too team of Lachy Hulme and Matthew George put this thing together is that all the action and world-shaking intrigue is ultimately just background. This is really just a story about a bunch of guys trying to Get Something Right for once in their lives. There's a lot of love and goofball fun in this movie. I recommend it to anyone who needs a good laugh, either at themselves, the movies, or the world in general.
headpaperhello After watching many Australian movies of all genres, it is interesting to find a movie such as this. Overall, Skase is an excellent movie. It has both comedy and action with a predominantly unknown cast who are all perfectly suited for their roles. It is well directed and the camera work is of a very high standard. I enjoyed this movie, because it was Australian, funny, entertaining but also because it is the kind of movie that I would be happy to watch regularly.
jessih969 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!
wentwortho Let's Get Skase is a comedy/Action Adventure about the real life chase for the fugitive Christopher Skase. The film is well put together with great performances from the Lead actors. A solid script and taught direction make for a solid piece of entertainment. (Not sure exactly how much of this actually happened, but I'm sure liberties have been taken). 70/100
