What critics said
Critics broadly found the film a derivative Australian noir whose dark-comic premise and Simon Pegg’s villainous performance were undermined by an unoriginal storyline.
What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Charlie Wolfe's botched assignment connects separate stories involving murder, blackmail, revenge, and several competing participants.
Simon Pegg plays professional hit-man Charlie Wolfe as a coolly amused villain observing the surrounding betrayals and killings.
The film uses a hot Australian setting and crime-centered atmosphere to frame its bloodshed, blackmail, and revenge plot.
The connected tales depend on blackmail, botched contracts, hidden motives, and revenge among characters who are not what they first appear to be.
