El gran golpe

...a movie that exists halfway between Tarantinoland and those old black and white British crime comedies.

...is rough around the edges, but so delightfully eccentric and darkly funny it's hard to resist.

...with actorsas commanding as the extraordinarily adaptable Guy Pearce and Rachel Griffiths leading the cast, this Australian import's emphasis on strong, affectionately drawncharacters gives it an emotional pull rare for the genre.

...the film's full-throttle performances — with the conspicuous exception of Taylor, who's so wooden he sounds dubbed — are entertaining.
