Review of Gettin' Square (2003) by Harry W — 28 Nov 2013

Australia has such premise to make clever, crime films, with great locations, fresh ideas and witty characters. Instead, after still riding the waves of Two Hands, and to the lesser extent Dirty Deeds, we have an average shot at promoting the criminal underworld of the Gold Coast, and to miss entirely.

Sam Worthington once again plays himself, whilst David Wenham's character while amusing, is far too tongue-in-cheek to take seriously. Throw in a mixed bag of international and Aussie actors, a holey story too nice to be any good, and you make for a rather forgettable and wasted attempt at Australian cinema.
