videorama-759-859391 Here's one solid action crime pic, that does Adelaide proud, brilliantly cast, with so many lovable Aussie actors, two of them from Skippy, Armaguard drivers who side together, to go up against some bad apples in the company. Actually there's a few, as well as a few outside influences too, some of them ruthlessly violent and manipulative. The whole engrossing affair, that involves Armaguard employee brothers, Brown and Donovan showing raw acting style, planning a brilliant robbery, building a replica van and all, is thwarted, when outside influences, led by Charles Bud Tingwell, hear of it. Fatally defying the big guys, Donavan pays for it big, resulting in that notorious toe cutting scene, with a big oaf torturer, more than happy to do it. Very researched and solidly structured as a brick wall, the movie never dulls. It just keeps on moving. So caught up in it, you forget where the 101 minutes went. Although filmed in Sydney also, Adelaide'ns will recognize numerous locations, like Rolley Park, West Terrace cemetery, and Port Road, opposite Bonython Park, where on instinct, two mentioned Armaguard guys, foil a break in, by showing some Dirty Harry tactics. Devereux and Bonner were great to watch here, Bonner a favourite Oz actor of mine, who I still remember clearly, buying it big, in a fatal episode of Cop Shop. There's a little guilty humour too, mostly on Tingwell's part as the untouchable honcho of the corrupt operation, where bent PI, a smooth natured Cassell, who I really liked in this, is the only one who walks away, untarnished. The Money Movers is very violent in parts, even for it's day, and it's great to the better half of Candy Raymond naked, who has her own reasons for getting nice and cosy with Bonner. Lucky Grills is fun too and must have one ditzy female employee. I mean, who doesn't know who Errol Flynn is. Slick crime Aussie pic, an always memorable classic oldie.

Theo Robertson Before the late 1960s American film makers had to work in a tightly regulated system as to what they could portray on screen . The Motion Picture Production Code commonly known as " The Hayes Code " stopped film makers in America portraying sex and violence in cinema . It became more and more difficult to enforce as both cultural and social revolution was sweeping the world and with the coming of " The New Hollywood " in the late 1960s the production code was scrapped . This led to much more graphic films whilst retaining artistic imagination and perhaps no one personified this more than Sam Peckinpah the director of THE WILD BUNCH a film so radically different from other Westerns seen effectively destroyed the genre forever . It was round about the same time feminist social critics described war as " menstrual envy " and this theory of films geared towards men where the male protagonists graphically bleed to death gained credibility in metaphysical film criticism Regardless of your views of this provocative theory there's no doubt that MONEY MOVERS certainly ties in with line of thinking . Despite being an Australian movie Bruce Beresford seems to taken a blood soaked page out of the Peckinpah book of film making . Very few of the characters have morals or are in any way likable just like you'd get in a film by " Bloody Sam " . The violence is brutal and is summed up by the tagline : " The lucky ones only lost their toes " and this is a film that lives up to its tagline. The brutality is also far more matter of fact seen in a Tarantino or Scorsese picture It's a film that does play up to the Aussie stereotypes . Men drink beer all the time , are butch and believe that poetry is the sole preserve of " pooftas "but what makes this a memorable thriller is the heart stopping heist at the end with the type of graphic violence which is genuinely shocking . In some ways it's dated ( One of the gang wants to emigrate in Iran if the plan is successful !) and it's a film that is never shown on British TV but along with BREAKER MORANT another film directed by Beresford it's amongst the very best films to come out of Australia

Ezekiel Steiner Money Movers really shows what can happen when greed and temptation come together. The money movers of the title handle millions of dollars each day in armored vans completely ready for an outside attack. But what happens when the danger comes from the inside? The answer is everything: Murder, double-cross of thieves, rival gangs, intrigue, suspicion, and the list goes on. This movie is packed with testosterone and has all the action you could ask for. Bruce Beresford directed who would latter come to America and did the Oscar winner Driving Miss Daisy. Based on the book of the same title by Devon Minchin this movie boasts one of the best robberies ever filmed – climaxing in the bloodiest, fastest, hottest shootouts ever put to film. This movie is hard to find in the US but if you come across a copy watch it!
