Most helpful review The Hard Word

  • Really Really Poor Comedy Thriller

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By Goldenboots (53 reviews) from East Grinstead, England , 17 May 2004

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    There have been a glut of enjoyable Australian movies released lately(Dirty Deeds, Black and White, The Dish etc), but this was not one of them. This was, to be frank, awful. Every thriller cliche was used, every 'suprise' telegraphed, and the ending could be guessed at after 10 minites. Acting was ok, but the direction was cluttered and muddled. Avoid this Aussie movie and watch some of their other better ones.

  • Very Disappointing

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By Willis (8 reviews) from London , 24 Feb 2009
    This film came out in Australia while I was living there and my flatmate at the time went to see it in the cinema and came back raving about it. It has taken me now 8 years to get round to seeing this film and I really wish I hadn't!

    Slow, confusing, and just generally rather dull!

    Shame as I like Guy Pierce, Rachel Griffiths and Joel Edgerton as actors!

  • Not Bad.

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    Not as bad a film as some are making out on here. I found it slow to start but once it got going it was quite enjoyable. Okay it wouldn't have won any oscars but it's worth a watch

  • Aussie Humour

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By a customer from London , 10 Oct 2006
    Brilliant to see the gang again...and once again the wry and understated Australian humour I love and miss. I will see any movies of Guy Pearce though, good, bad or indifferent.

  • A good yarn!

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By Chris from London , 16 Jan 2006
    I was throughly entertained by this criminal tale of three bankrobbing brothers. It reminded me alot of an Australian Lock Stock and Snatch, it had violence, comedy and some great characters with Guy Pierce again playing a good part. Recommended!
