I didn't expect much from this movie....but then 15 minutes into the film I was thoroughly in it...it has a gripping tale (ok....sometimes a bit too much...but what the heck....it's a movie and we would blast the Director if he didn't get us interested) and I was always on pins to see how the guys got out of the mess they got themselves into. Their comradeship, their genuineness and their absolute naivety makes one like them immensely and is relieved at the end.I am sorry that the movie has only a 5.8 IMDb rating (less that the score of such horrors as SAW) These are the movies that should make IMDb reconsider the way the ratings are balanced.

What a great Movie. A story of a small town and three mates that live for each other. From an Australian point of view it's seen as solid mateship.A movie about three Guys that get into trouble as we all have at some time or another without even trying and will they get out of it with a no luck at all. I loved this from start to finish, I am not sure if it was because I didn't know what to expect but I like the easy plot and cast of usual people in a small town where everybody knows everything.I look forward to more movies like this rather than over budgeted epic's with big stars and CGI. Bring back the hometown hit. This deserves a look, 4 out of 5 Stars from me.

though this is just a light entertaining movie, what it lack was the hard hitting black comedy that has made other movies like this; i.e. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, The Hard Word, Snatch, Lucky Numbers, much more enjoyable. though it could keep the charm it was aiming for, though with the back stabbing and betrayals need a more sharper edge to them. The laughs that were presented were funny, though not to the point where you would be out of breathe from the sheer bewilderment of the situation.the performances were good, though the director made all the characters to sympathetic that there wasn't anyone you would love to hate.but this is still charming even if it isn't as densely layered movie which it could have been.

Quite entertaining for the first 45 minutes then it starts to feel like it's treading water. Trying to be a cross between 'Local Hero' and 'Shallow Grave' it doesn't have the charm of the former or the guts of the latter. Borrowing from too many other films it lacks it's own distinctive style. It would possibly make a quite watchable television drama but is out of it's depth on the big screen. The music was good. (5/10)
