before i start my review here be a quick lesson in australian slang which may help you with view the movie and understand some of the other review from australia and overseas . in australian slang thong be a pair of rubber sandal ( not to be confuse with the same american word that pertain to butt reveal underwear ) and stubbies be a brand of australian short and a stubby be a small can size bottle of beer and and a stubby holder be a foam insulator for a small bottle of beer . if you love black comedy about smalltime criminal then you will love this movie and unfortunatley a lot of people on imdb with weak stomach and no appreciation of dark humour have review this movie which unfortunately make this movie appear to be more mediocre than what it be . a lot of reviewer have also compare it to lock or stock and pulp fiction and while it be the same genre and it be a completely different and original style . a lot of reviewer have also pan this movie for use heath ledger character dead brother to open and guide the narrative for this movie and without watch the movie closely enough to realise that his brother be kill by the same villain that wish to kill heaths character and this be explain midway through the movie but not clearly enough for most to understand . this movie be also reminiscent of lock or stock and reservoir dog in that it be the director or writer debut feature and and for a debut feature it rate as well a these two movie and a a matter of fact like lock or stock and reservoir dog i rate this movie a a positive for a director or writer debut and unfortunately unlike tarantino and ritchie jordan fails to live up to expectation in his subsequent movie like ned kelly . this movie be one that you should definitely add to your dvd collection and be one that hold up to several viewing quite easily .
