GamerTab That was an excellent one.
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
carbuff A solid old Australian crime caper movie. The plot keeps moving along and keeps you guessing as to how its going to play out. The acting and cinematography are decent and workmanlike but characteristic of the 1970s, which I personally enjoy for the period feel. I am very fond of good movies (and sometimes not so very good movies) from the 1970s, probably because they are what I grew up with. You may recognize a few actors (in particular, Bryan Brown) from before they became well- known. In short, this is an entertaining film from back when a reasonable plot was pretty much taken for granted, as opposed to today when the shakiness of many plots is obfuscated with remarkable special effects. If you are into this kind of movie, I think it might be worthwhile to give this old one a try, since, while admittedly not a classic, it is still quite good.
udar55 This excellent Aussie crime flick centers on the workers at Darcy, a money courier service. Things get tense when an anonymous note arrives stating that their counting room - which sometimes houses as much as $20 million - is going to get hit soon and a cargo van is robbed the same day. This speeds up the plans of Darcy workers and brothers Eric (Terence Donovan) and Brian Jackson (Bryan Brown) as they have been planning to rob the place for 5 years. To make matters more complicated, Eric is senior security told to look into this matter and he tries to move the suspicion onto newcomer Leo Bassett (Tony Bonner), who has just gotten partnered with honest ex-cop and old timer Dick Martin (Ed Devereaux). To say any more would reveal too much.Where have you been all my life, MONEY MOVERS? I've never been a huge Bruce Beresford fan, knowing him mostly for BREAKER MORANT, DRIVING MISS DAISY and HER ALIBI (the latter two released the same year in a great example of cinematic diversity). So seeing this hard-hitting and violent crime flick from him was quite a shock. Not only is it quite different in subject, but this sucker moves thanks to some fantastic editing and a tight script (also by Beresford) with plenty of twists. Everyone in the cast is excellent with Devereaux being my favorite character as seemingly the world's last honest man. Definitely worth seeking out.
romarblanc First time i watched this move i was fifteen..., i found in money movers action, shootouts, angry people and violent scenes..., this movie concerns a guy called Jackson who works in a security company and wants to rob it..., he is helped by his brother(brown) and his friend, played by Ray Marshall; unfortunately for them, a local mafia gang discovers their intentions and wants to be in the mix..., the movie concerns some nowadays problems as violence, angry, unhappiness..., by the way i have to point the final scene, in which the violence level rises to the top: fist fights, chairs broken in a guys back..., there is a guy called geronimo who exhibits a crude brutality in his actions..., this actor, although secondary cast offers a high range performing..., only you have to see how he uses his gun and his fist..., if antibody knows something about him, send me a pd here in IMDb..., his name is rick hart i give it nine star from ten
goatsby One of the most under-rated Oz films of all time!, Brilliantly directed by Beresford it was superbly cast and scripted.Ray Marshall appeared in every scene with a cigarette, and lucky Grills appeared in his normal quota of beer drinking scenes. Not to mention the use of profanity which is normally associated in the workplace which gave the natural realism. Also the plot which assumed that OZ coppers are completely bent really added to the authenticity.And not to mention half the cast of Skippy the Bush Kangaroo being involved in a climatic shootout, BRILLIANT!!!!
