Amusing story of eighties greed, 8 August 1999
8/10
Author: ormas from Sydney, Austrlia

I am suprised that the rating for this film is so low. Whilst it is admittedly not one of the greatest films of the decade, the film is a competent and amusing story of Sydney in the mid-eighties and Sydney-Melbourne rivalry.

It's humour is typically David Williamson. I like it and would recommend it to anyone.
