Review of The Hard Word

The Hard Word (2002)
6/10
Where have we seen this film before,?
9 June 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I am glad that there were sub-titles available for this Australian heist & chase film, as the accents nearly made it hard to understand the dialog.

Guy Pierce & Rachel Griffisth are the stars & they do well.Joel Edgerton, Damien Richardson & Robert Taylor are on hand as well & they too do a fine job,.

However, we have seen this tale ( 3 likable Brothers are released from prison---one of their wives is sleeping with their lawyer,) We have seen variations of this too many times to be taken in,.. There are heists, chases, double crosses romances etc..

The settings are locations (some very beautiful) in the Sydney & Melbourne area,

Even though the story is familiar, It is too convoluted to sustain much interest.

Ratings **1/2 (out of 4) 71 points (out of 100) IMDb 6 (out of 10)
