Idiot Box

synopsis


Kev’s hobby is being angry. His motto is maximum fear, minimum time. He hasn’t got a job, but he has got attitude. His best mate is Mick and together they kill time drinking beer, watching the idiot box and looking for action on the street. Then one day Kev tells Mick they’ve drawn their last dole cheque. Instead they’re going to get rich quick doing the one thing they’re qualified for - crime. Conning a friend into driving the getaway car, the gang of three plan a robbery. But it’s a heist that’s doomed from the start. These guys are amateurs. When the big day comes Kev’s so high on adrenaline that he’s totally out of control, hurtling towards a showdown more twisted than anything he’s ever seen on the Idiot Box.

Gotta see it to the end

A bit hard going for me at times....felt a bit slow paced although 'gritty' at the same time. I realized by the end that it was really quite clever how all the linkages that had been set up came together. Love Aussie movies! Great actors.
