Trivia

Director Bruce Beresford persuaded producer Matt Carroll to allow some filming of this Sydney-set picture in Sydney including both some exteriors and a few exteriors. The high majority of this movie was filmed in Adelaide, South Australia but with the small amount of filming in Sydney, New South Wales (NSW), the film was able to attract a small investment from the NSW Film Corporation.

Interesting older Australian heist flick.
11 May 2015 | by See all my reviews

A solid old Australian crime caper movie.

The plot keeps moving along and keeps you guessing as to how its going to play out. The acting and cinematography are decent and workmanlike but characteristic of the 1970s, which I personally enjoy for the period feel. I am very fond of good movies (and sometimes not so very good movies) from the 1970s, probably because they are what I grew up with. You may recognize a few actors (in particular, Bryan Brown) from before they became well- known.

In short, this is an entertaining film from back when a reasonable plot was pretty much taken for granted, as opposed to today when the shakiness of many plots is obfuscated with remarkable special effects. If you are into this kind of movie, I think it might be worthwhile to give this old one a try, since, while admittedly not a classic, it is still quite good.
