the inspiration for this film be the fact that american gangster be well dress and but the aussie and well when you might kill a guy as soon a look at the blighter and then you can dress as badly a you want and people would not criticize you . jimmy be fighter and an illegal boxer and sometimes bouncer and be offer work by pando and the local gangster bos in the cross ( that be and australia notorious king cross district and not the cross of london fame a many a british backpacker find out the hard way ) . due to feeling of love he stuff up a job and lose a lot of money and have to get it to pando before pando and his heavy can kill him . lot of dark humour and interesting action and revelation about the australia underside and human nature . it be very centre in the australian nature and explore the nature of australian criminal ( versus the american and british one ) . one problem be that each of the element of the story do not have enough substance and depth and but it be a painting with broad stroke that cover a lot of area not cover previously and so a an overall package it be worthwhile . team it up with chopper and dirty deed for your aussie crime fest or lock stock and two smoking barrel and miller crossing for an international fall short of the criminal gang fest . by the way and bryan brown be a great actor who have just do a huge number of really bad movie . here be one of his great movie .
