Death is like the wind
nogodnomasters9 May 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Des (Jesse Morton ) and Bobby (Anthony Winnick ) don't have jobs. They are about to lose their home. Based on a tip, they decide to rob a convenience store, but then discover the servo is on a timer. Then decide to wait until 6:30 AM when it is unlocked. They end up placing people in a storage room who suspect something is wrong. The comedy grows as the occupants grow.

This is an Australian comedy, that doesn't have any real hard laughs, but is amusing.

Guide: F-word. Implied sex. No nudity.

Great Aussie Indie film
megdzur8 May 2021
A great Australian Indie film that is well worth the watch. I think if the films "Two Hands" and "Clerks" had a baby, this would be it 🤷‍♀️ Added bonus points for the addition of some great music thrown in there too.

Add it to your watch list, you won't regret it!

Great fun comedy
bazza_mckenzie0210 May 2021
An original Australian comedy that has lots of laughs and some great new talent.

Reminds me of some early 2000s late 90's Aussie conedies in its style.

Fun film well worth your time.

Enjoyable to the max Australian movie
swinnick-603879 May 2021
This was really enjoyable, a mix of dark and light humour, with the main protagonists finding themselves in an escalating series of unforseen events.

Nice to have new local talent both in front and behind the camera.

Definitely worth watching. Enjoy !!

A fun, and sometimes funny, ride

A nice watch. Things go wrong and the chaos and humor that ensues. Nicely done.

Fun Indie Dark Comedy has it all
alexstephengoldberg2 June 2021
This Australian Indie is a very clever, funny, and often heartfelt "heist" story. The heist is a joke, as our criminal brothers attempt to hold up a gas station convenience store fails miserably and hysterically. Lots of twists, including a totally-earned false ending, makes for a unique and entertaining ride.

Really good!
directortim201222 May 2021
This is a very fun new Australian comedy/drama, and a really good one. It's about a hold-up gone very wrong. And the more it goes wrong, the more enjoyable the movie is. Perfect for my weekend mood. Really well done and very entertaining!

Loved it!
craigahrens24 May 2021
This film was so much fun to watch. My family and I enjoyed it from beginning to end (which is very rare). We very much enjoyed the story and acting. The actors all did such a good job!! Kudos to Director Joey Menzel. He did a good job keeping things moving along at a nice pace. So for me and my family... a big Thumbs up!

Aussie and Indie go hand in hand
melwiedemann10 May 2021
What a great film. Loved the humor! Loved the music! Loved recognizing some of the locations. The Clerks T stood out for me. I felt Friday vibes, Kevin Smith vibes, definitely be watching again. Fingers crossed for a number 2! Watch it, totally worth it!

Funny and heartfelt
ravencorinncarluk18 June 2021
Because it's an Aussie film, the comedy is different than a lot of American flicks. But it's got its amusing parts, and the actors are pretty good. Definitely has some Clerks vibes to it, and one of the youngsters is wearing a Clerks shirt in case the viewer doesn't quite pick up on it.

The plot is a pretty straightforward "what else can go wrong", but it's interspersed with these flashbacks revealing how the guys got to where they are now. Because the two timelines are mixed, I actually thought it kept the pacing just right to draw me along at the right speed. And I actually fell for the twist, so the writer/director got an extra large laugh out of me for that.

What really sold me was the honesty and realism of their loss. Having lost my own mom when I was young, I know that it does you for a loop, and the opening narration is spot on for how it feels. Yes, this is a comedy in that a silly situation resolves itself all perfectly with no real repercussions, but I think the opening and closing narrations are the REAL story. Everything else is just a fun ride on the way to that. I gave an extra star for the hidden emotions and truth.

Aussie old school
moviezagogo10 September 2021
If you're into old school Aussie cinema then you should probably check this out. I haven't seen this kind of thing from down-under for quite some time. No furrowed brows starring wistfully into the distance here folks, just some good old-fashioned potty-mouthed larrikinism. A decent soundtrack too.

Slow to start but gets going ok.
tara-3104923 June 2021
I thought this movie was good but little slow to start... Funny most of the time, if you don't like swearing then don't watch... there is allot!

I actually want to give it 7.5 stars.

Not a bad watch
stevejacobssteveo23 June 2021
Good little Aussie movie. Worth a crack.

It's obviously a low budget one but not a bad effort all around.
