A riotous rollercoaster of murder and mayhem set in multicultural inner Melbourne, this hit Australian comedy-thriller stars Sam Neill as Carl, a fortyish no-hoper whose takes a job as a cook in a seedy nightclub to escape his cantankerous mother. A flirtation with fetching barmaid Sophie (Zoe Carides) - who is engaged to the nightclub owner - lands Carl on the wrong side of a viscious bouncer; but when attacked by his drug-dealing Turkish kitchenhand, Carl inflicts a grievous form of self-defence that sparks a deepening gangland feud. Best mate Dave (John Clarke) is soon employed as Carl's protector - and gravedigger - as a band of cutthroats block Carl's path to his bartending sweetheart.

"A black comedy starring Sam Neill? Count me in! I really enjoyed the movie, it looks fantastic in this release. I guess Australian people will get more out of this movie, but I had a great time. . . enough to look forward to the second viewing."
"This flick features quality performances, a very good script, and was a real joy to watch from beginning to end! The peerless VS restoration process was on full display with stellar sound and picture! Thank you, VS, for continuing to lovingly restore and release so many wonderful films from every conceivable genre! You are keeping physical media alive in this streaming world we now live in! Highly recommended!"
"This film is fun! Lotsa when it rains it pours going on, but a great buddy flick at heart. I went in blind, and was pleasantly surprised. I like plenty of Umbrella's releases, and this one is no exception. There are some sweet special features, the picture and audio quality are fine, and the slipcover is awesome! Have fun!"
