Absolutely Fantastic

A Disappointing Continuation

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This movie showcases how simple Aussie production teams can make a world class movie with a budget one hundredth of big block buster Hollywood films. Characters are real and easy to relate to and there is no hint of pretentiousness by any actors throughout the film. Although this is an Australian based film this movie can cross international borders with ease , small time crime is universal . I would put this movie in a bracket with films like lock stock and snatch in the sense even though you know these people are breaking the laws they're the underdog you want to see get up . I would probably rate this as my favourite movie and find myself watching it at least once a week . With a cast of mainly relatively unknowns with the exception of people like sam worthington , gary sweet , David wenham and tim spall I feel it is one of the best low budget films released from Australia

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It is funny, weird and original and stars some excellent actors such as Timothy Spall and David Wenham (who is hilarious!). One of the great things about is that the heroes are not your typical "goody-goodies". They are very unusual for heroes, as you will discover. Also, the stars are not American, but Australian as far as I can remember (though Timothy Spall, as you probably know, is British) which is a refreshing change from the usual stereotypical 'blonde bimbos' and 'dark hunks' which are found in most Western-made movies. The swearing can get a bit much if you're not used to it but otherwise it's a fantastic movie with an interesting ending.

Look - this is not a great film. It doesn't take you anywhere you haven't been before, it is pure entertainment and nothing more. There's no intellectual challenge, there's no emotional connection - this is not an important film.That said, David Wenham's 'Spitz' is just so damn funny!And that's what this film is for. It's an entertaining couple of hours. It's not the saviour of the Australian film industry but it does have a place. Sometimes we just need to kick back, switch off and have a good laugh.Gettin' Square is funny, light entertainment. It's just your standard heist flick bordering on The Castle style suburban kitch but it does still stand up on it's own - just. Perhaps because we are strongly suspect that 'Spitz' actually does exist (even if we don't know him)... and please, Sam Worthington is so hot!

The marketing killed this one because it was a great film with brilliant performances but it seemed like another bad comedy. However it was really entertain and David Wenham was brilliant as Spit. The courtroom scene is classic stuff.the ending is a bit weak and sentimental but still a good film.
