Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The movie started off a little weird; random little shots of people, then introductions... after that the story got really going, and was enjoyable after the unbalanced beginning.I watched this movie mostly to see Sam Worthington's performance, and he was brilliant as usual. He didn't have a huge part. To be honest, none of the characters had a huge part in the story, but they all contributed to each other, and it was interesting how all their lives were in the end driven to the same place and linked to each other.Acting in this movie was either "kind of good", or "really bad". It just didn't get me to sink into the movie but kept me on the surface, watching rather than feeling.The plot was shaky and the story didn't run smoothly. There were outrageously funny moments here and there, and a fair amount of violence (though I'm not sure if it's enough for 18+ rating I've seen somewhere).If the storytelling wasn't so glitchy and the beginning of the movie so unbalanced, I think I would have enjoyed this more. An entertaining ride, sure, but I didn't really get to know any of the people on screen very well, although their motivations were shoved to the front quite clearly.

I wouldn't normally take the time and effort to write a review, let alone a negative one, but 'Fink!' calls for special circumstances. Having grown up watching films such as 'Lock, Stock...' and 'Snatch', I'm offended by the comparisons that have been drawn. Whilst the latter films succeeded in mixing the gruesome action and comedy, 'Fink!' failed dismally. The writing was poor and the acting embarrassing; I had to turn it off after 40 minutes and finish watching it the next day, it was that unbearable. I would even go so far as to call the writing lazy, seeing as one of the main premises of the film is based on the story line of Superman 3! It's only saving grace was the performances of Sam Worthington and Steve Bastoni, and even they looked like they didn't want to be there. This film is unoriginal in every sense of the word and is unintentionally funny for all the wrong reasons- I wouldn't recommend it.

I saw this movie last Sunday which I taped from the previous night as it was on a little late for my liking.Throughout the film I liked the story and especially liked the moments where there was humour thrown in to take away that this is a comedy and not a real action movie.I thought most of the acting was superb. I personally thought 2 of the 3 actors did a very poor job. They had the perfect chance to show off playing a slacker but ruined it.The performances of Fink, Able, Willing and Jesse were my personal favourites. They really hit the mark. They were absolutely perfect! It was all in all a good movie with some actors lacking in the acting ability. It's not your typical Hollywood rip off. It's something else! There's something about Australian film which distinguishes it from any other film made outside of Australia. They have their own style and often show you the different perspectives of the characters and what really happened. Full of twists and a real surprise! This film is worthy of 9/10 with -1 for the lack of good actors in roles in the film.

I saw this on television tonight and it was fantastic. Funny, in the mould of Lock Stock and Snatch, it was a very bloody comedy which succeeded at what it set out to do.It won't win too many awards, but the acting was above par with most Australian movies, which usually blow thanks to appearances of "veteran" actors like the arrogant Bill Hunter, the douchebag Michael Caton and that halfwit Mick Molloy, none of which appear in this, thank God. Instead, it's a cast of people I've never or rarely seen, with the exception of that old bat from the worst medical drama on TV - All Saints. Her performance is, expectedly, the weakest of the lot, but it's a brief one which is made up for by the quick, snappy dialogue of the other characters. The only thing they could have improved on in this aspect was casting Sigrid Thornton into any role in the film, as I think she's gorgeous, but she doesn't make an appearance.It's rather profane, which I think is a good thing for this kind of comedy. It has some really cool death scenes which, again, are funny, and the way the story plays out - with each part of the chronology shown from 2 perspectives, is a really interesting way of storytelling, and it's done well here.I look forward to getting a copy on DVD. The movie's worthy of 8 stars. It's a great flick, I fink!
