So much average
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
What a fantastic film!Lachy Hulme stars in this wonderfully silly movie about the chase for Christopher Skase, an Australian business man with an ignominious past.Great one-liners fill this film that has it all, except it could have done with some T&A, but there is enough action to satisfy.Had to wait for DVD to see it and love the comments by the director/co-writer, Matthew George and co-writer, Hulme.Get a copy, it rocks!
not the kind of comedy that I would normally go out and see, but I was surprised at how this movie worked. there were some really funny moments, some excellent action and a fantastic satire of older, American movies - or was it just taking the p**s out of itself? Regardless, I think that this is the kind of movie you can watch over and over again. Can't wait to see more of director Matthew George's work. And Lachy Hulme, he is excellent. So too the supporting cast. A great movie.
I saw this film when I was holidaying in Australia. A sensational comedy loosely based on real events. It has a great storyline and a couple of characters that you love to hate. The lead character, Lachy Hulme, reminded me of Bill Murray a bit, where nothing is as it seems, and shouldn't be taken too seriously.
Let's Get Skase is a comedy/Action Adventure about the real life chase for the fugitive Christopher Skase. The film is well put together with great performances from the Lead actors. A solid script and taught direction make for a solid piece of entertainment. (Not sure exactly how much of this actually happened, but I'm sure liberties have been taken). 70/100
