At long last, an Australian crime actioner with all the guts and grit of any British or American film of this genre.

THE HARD WORD is brutally raw and raunchy, pulsing with a truly Aussie spirit. There is much subtext of honor among thieves, mateship and family - nothing we haven't seen before in American gangster movies - but with a CROCODILE DUNDEE accent.

In Sydney, the three Twentyman brothers, intellectual Dale (Guy Pearce, oilier than Aragorn in all three RINGS movies), amiable Mal (Damien Richardson) and volatile Shane (Joel edgerton) are released from prison on the same day. What do they do as soon as they are free? Have lunch at Bondi Beach. Then rob an armored car - at the behest of their lawyer slash heist manager, Frank (Robert Taylor). Then they fence the loot to two crooked cops.





As the brains of the three-brother heist group, Guy Pearce is as oily and unwashed as Aragorn in all three LORD OF THE RINGS movies.

cheeky, raunchy sense of humor

What greater show of love, what greater method to prove devotion to one of the two men in your life by killing the one in front of the other?
