I love this film. I watched it a few years ago on late night TV and remember laughing a lot, but I forgot the name of it. I recently found it again and bought the DVD.
It tells the story of Jimmy who gets in trouble with local gangsters. The goodies drive Holdens, the baddies drive Fords. It's a good story, will Jimmy be killed, will he get the girl and who's the dead guy who looks like him?
Most of all though, you'll be laughing when the bank robber knocks himself unconscious during the job and when the baby pulls the trigger on the shot gun and the guy who left his bullets in his jeans when they went through the wash.
Definitely worth watching.

Australia has a good pedigree for crime thrillers and this early appearance as leading man by the much lamented Heath Ledger does not disappoint. He is in no way overshadowed by Aussie movie regular Bryan Brown who is in full scenery-chewing mode as a loving family man cum murderous gangster. Ledger plays a young layabout, charming but not the sharpest knife in the box, whom Brown chooses to deliver $10,000 to an address the other side of town, which sum Ledger promptly loses. The plot, which I will not give away, hinges upon Brown's attempts to reclaim his missing money, and Ledger's efforts to raise an equivalent amount before Brown finds him and blows him away. There is not just edge-of-seat excitement a-plenty, but some glorious laugh-out-loud comedy as well. Some of the plotting relies a little too heavily on coincidence, and it's a pity the film has not been released in 16:9 ratio; you'll have to put up with 4:3, but I heartily recommend it all the same.

Great Aussie tale about tough choices and narrow escapes. Great opportunity to see Heath Ledger in one of his first big time performances and the lovely Rose Byrne is always a pleasure. Brian brown is his usual brilliant self. See this if you believe in innocence, youth and second chances.
