The movie runs about 6 subplots making things a bit confusing. I felt like I was watching pieces of a half dozen different movies. The film starts out with an electronic bank robbery attempt, some welfare slackers, an assassin killing a man, undercover cops, the computer hacker helping a criminal, and a rich man being told his wife is having an affair..I think that is most of it. The subplots start to come together, some through a case of mistaken identity and errors. The plot was enjoyable as was most of the actors. The manner in which it was directed and weak sound track kept it from becoming a classic. For those who like a quirky movie from time to time, try it out. F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

Come on people, I actually thought this was semi-entertaining. Where this thing falls down mainly is its attempt at being a little too Guy Richie'est. The comparisons are several and yes this is a weak rip off of Lock Stock, but its certainly not the worst movie I've ever seen. Another example of the internet breeding idiots all over the world. I'm posting comments from the director below to meet this stupid minimum length thing: "The production of this film was a mess from the start. If you would like to know more, then watch the film "The Plex" or goto I'm sorry you all sat through this version of the film. The directors cut is supported by not only myself, but Sam Worthington, Steve Bastoni, Jason Crewes, Brian Cobb, David Wheeler and the lists goes on. Hopefully one day, the correct version can be released. Until then I hope you enjoy the future projects more than this one."

"We got the weapons, we got the style, we got the motivation, what could possibly go wrong?" When a guy comes up with a plan to steal money from a bank, (kinda like what they did in Superman 3) he thinks he is gonna be rich by the next morning. After losing $100,000 is a card game he is sure he will have the money. Soon after this, things start going bad, quickly. It seems to me that after "Snatch" and "Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels" everyone has been trying to make the next one. In 10 years this is the only one that has come close. Like "Lock, Stock" this one has a few groups that have their own story line going on and somehow all converge. This movie is equal parts action and comedy. It was a very fun movie to watch and if you enjoy the "Snatch" type movies, you will love this one. Made before Sam Worthington became a star, (he is the only recognizable person in the movie) but it holds up five years after it was made. The acting and effects are a little lacking, but that does not in any way detract from the experience. This movie is proof that you don't need big name actors and a million dollar budget in order to make a great movie. Very enjoyable to watch. I really liked it. I give it a A-. Would I watch again? - I absolutely would. *Also try - Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels & Perrier's Bounty

I saw this movie last Sunday which I taped from the previous night as it was on a little late for my liking. Throughout the film I liked the story and especially liked the moments where there was humour thrown in to take away that this is a comedy and not a real action movie. I thought most of the acting was superb. I personally thought 2 of the 3 actors did a very poor job. They had the perfect chance to show off playing a slacker but ruined it. The performances of Fink, Able, Willing and Jesse were my personal favourites. They really hit the mark. They were absolutely perfect! It was all in all a good movie with some actors lacking in the acting ability. It's not your typical Hollywood rip off. It's something else! There's something about Australian film which distinguishes it from any other film made outside of Australia. They have their own style and often show you the different perspectives of the characters and what really happened. Full of twists and a real surprise! This film is worthy of 9/10 with -1 for the lack of good actors in roles in the film.

I saw this on television tonight and it was fantastic. Funny, in the mould of Lock Stock and Snatch, it was a very bloody comedy which succeeded at what it set out to do. It won't win too many awards, but the acting was above par with most Australian movies, which usually blow thanks to appearances of "veteran" actors like the arrogant Bill Hunter, the douchebag Michael Caton and that halfwit Mick Molloy, none of which appear in this, thank God. Instead, it's a cast of people I've never or rarely seen, with the exception of that old bat from the worst medical drama on TV - All Saints. Her performance is, expectedly, the weakest of the lot, but it's a brief one which is made up for by the quick, snappy dialogue of the other characters. The only thing they could have improved on in this aspect was casting Sigrid Thornton into any role in the film, as I think she's gorgeous, but she doesn't make an appearance. It's rather profane, which I think is a good thing for this kind of comedy. It has some really cool death scenes which, again, are funny, and the way the story plays out - with each part of the chronology shown from 2 perspectives, is a really interesting way of storytelling, and it's done well here. I look forward to getting a copy on DVD. The movie's worthy of 8 stars. It's a great flick, I fink!
