- Synopsis:
Kev's hobby is being angry. His motto is Maximum Fear Minimum Time. He hasn't got a job but he has got attitude. His best mate is Mick (Jeremy Sims) and together they kill time drinking beer, watching the Idiot Box and looking for action on the street. Then one day Kev (Ben Mendelsohn) tells Mick they've drawn their last dole cheque. Instead they're going to get rich quick doing the only thing they're qualified for - crime. Conning a friend into driving the getaway car, the gang of three plan a robbery. But it's a heist that's doomed from the start. These guys are amateurs. Besides, a grass has already blown their cover to the cops. Worse, when the big day comes Kev's so high on adrenalin he's totally out of control, hurtling towards a showdown more twisted, more real than anything he's ever seen on the Idiot Box. - Actors:
