There is a bit of Shakespeare in this one though no fantasy at all and a bit too close to the bone for many. What were those marks on her arms?

Written by one of the starring actors I felt this was like a stage play taken to the movies. Set around two main cast, the Pawn Shop owner and his sidekick. They intertwine with the locals who frequent the store or hangout in the street nearby. Aggression and sweetness sit side by side as do kindness of heart and brutal violence. Multiple facets bind several characters together in humour and fists. The uplifting surprise at the end shows us life still goes on for some but not all. A dark look at Melbourne’s Footscray region with a little light added for good measure.

Different, entertaining, deceptively fast moving story line, some great acting, good character portrayals, teaches about tolerance and lives of others.

About as low budget as they come, but Australian movie fans in particular should support this. A portrait of Footscray portrayed through the operators and customers of a pawn shop. Good fun - seek it out.

"Not all the subplots arrive at satisfactory conclusions"! Thanks Jake Wilson, Age reviewer. Sometimes life's just like that. Not sure what you were hoping for. The fact that some of the story lines weren't resolved is integral to this film. Definitely worth a watch.

This could be a film but tried to tell the story of too many characters, 12 in total. There's not enough air time given for us to care about any of them. Because we only brushed on each person it's very difficult to understand what is going on. I think they should have focused on just a few characters and develop the story more.
