In this odd-ball rock & roll narrative from Australia, busy Mickey, a sound engineer for a futuristic heavy metal band, dreams of singing his own tender love songs someday. It looks as if his dreams just may come true when he encounters the enigmatic devil's-advocate Damien Shard who has invented the Psychotronic Alpha Sampler, a machine that scrambles brainwaves and basically makes dreams reality. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
In Sweet Talker, an amiable, charming ex-convict (Bryan Brown) arrives in a small Australian costal city with the intent of duping the populace into investing money in a phony excavation of a sunken ship, which is allegedly filled with gold. Unexpectedly, he falls in love with a young widow (Karen Allen) and becomes a father-figure to her young son. His new romance complicates his planned scam, and he can't decide whether to carry his plan through or stay with the woman. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
