Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Diagonaldi Very well executed

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

tastyhotdogs With lots of holiday time on my hands, decided to tape this and watch later. Didn't particularly want to see it, but figured it was worth a chance.The story is about 3 bank-robbing brothers, caught up in a mess with a bunch of crooked cops. They basically keep spending time between robbing banks and prison. When a huge heist opportunity comes their way, revolving around the Melbourne Cup, they see their chance to get out for good with a nice lump sum of cash money.The cast is solid, featuring Guy Pearce (Mike from "Neighbours"), Joel Edgerton and Rachel Griffiths, the storyline is OK, but the story just bugged me. The language is pretty rough, there's some odd sexual content and the movie really starts to drag. A lot more effort should have gone into the heist scenes than some of the stuff they dabbled in (eg relationships, mental health, salmonella) with no depth, making it pointless.Had potential, but went nowhere.

one2runn2 This was a really enjoyable film. While it may not have had the most original script, it certainly shines when compared to other, much more lackluster, heist films. I enjoyed this from start to finish and did not find it as formulaic and predictable as many other films in the genre. It's sort of like an Australian version of the film "Confidence," only with better acting and more interesting characters. Guy Pearce throws himself into the role and does not waver.Even when the focus is on another actor his presence commands the attention of the audience. Few actors are as skilled in stealing a scene without ever saying a word. The female characters are rather one dimensional, but it's a detail that's easily overlooked as they are not the central focus. Definitely worth a visit to the video store.

mab8485 Entertaining yarn about 3 manipulated convict brothers who are used by their lawyer (who is ----ing the main characters ie. Pearce's, wife played by Griffiths) to carry out robberies, mainly for the lawyer and 2 corrupt cops' benefit. The final Melbourne Cup heist actually occurred in the late 1970's. You do find yourself rooting for the three brothers and rooting against both the corrupt cops and the lawyer. The weaknesses were that (1) very occasionally it seemed like a TV movie (especially as similar roles had been played by some characters before on TV)and (2)the section where they escape with a drunk blonde with the loot is unconvincing. However, excluding those weaknesses, it is an enjoyable movie with a satisfying ending.

bosscain I was kinda disappointed in this movie,I though that Guy Pearce,that usually does good in movies(Memento,Count of Monte Cristo,Time Machine)would be able to save this one.but sadly it was to far gone even for him.seems like it was poorly edited or just quickly slapped together.
