About this product

Product Information

In this action-comedy directed by Scott Roberts, a trio of Melbourne prison rats works with a crime boss on the outside, trying to pull off one last scheme to satisfy the man so he'll spring them from the lockup. The Twentyman brothers consist of leader Dale (Guy Pearce), ex-butcher Mal (Damien Richardson), and shadowy Shane (Joel Edgerton). Shane is the baby of the bunch, and the star of the show, who keeps every moment real with his utterly candid way of telling it like it is--providing for a string of priceless one-liners. On the outside, sleazy lawyer Frank (Robert Taylor) wheels and deals, all the while using his considerable financial charms to win over Dale's wife, Carol (Rachel Griffiths as the prototypical tart). A botched bank robbery organized by Frank sets the brothers off on a crooked course, and when they realize that they've been set up, they scramble to claim their promised freedom at any cost. Some hilarious revenge sequences involve a grosser-than-gross food poisoning gimmick, and the entire film is punctuated by wonderful cat-and-mouse chase games with Frank. Though THE HARD WORD is a tough, rigorous crime caper flick, underlying its action is clear comedic intent, albeit a dark and mischievous brand of humor. In his directorial debut, Roberts has crafted a fast-moving and highly entertaining film with its strengths lying in character development and a uniquely quirky script.This film screened in the SXSW 2003 film festival in Austin, Texas.

    The Hard Word (2003, VHS)

    Twentyman brothers Dale (Guy Pearce), Mal (Damien Richardson), and Shane (Joel Edgerton) share a strong family bond. Sons of a butcher, they use the code language they learned in their father's shop, to aid them in their chosen profession: armed robbery. And they do the job so well, that their lawyer, Frank Malone (Robert Taylor) is able to get them of the joint so they can keep doing it - with the blessing of the local Sydney coppers, who will get a piece of the action. Frank, meanwhile, is up to no good. He enlists the aid of Dale's less-than-loyal wife Carol (Rachel Griffiths) to keep Dale and his brothers in check. Faced with the option of going back to prison, or doing One More Big Job, the brothers take the obvious best choice...for the last time. Or so they think. Great film a ...
