Ryan's business is threatened when a Chicago Mafia boss dispatches two of his goons to scope out the poker machine scene for a potential takeover. Tony (John Goodman) and Sal (Felix Williamson), however, are lost when it comes to Australian culture, and stick out like a sore thumb.

Very stylistic movie. Good plot / acting / script, but the ending is a real let down and makes you feel like you just wasted your time watching it. Somehow it just doesn't evoke any compassion for the characters and you feel like you just don't care about the ending - or lack of it.

This movie was good. It had a few laughs. There was quite a bit of graphic violence which got to be a bit much. I enjoyed the end and how the characters ended up at the conclusion. Face it, there really wasn't anyone to cheer for in the film. That said, it (just barely) entertained enough to make it worthwhile.

I never got into the characters. It's slow and not entertaining. I would rather watch Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, or something more fast paced.
