Watch Dirty Deeds For Free

Really Surprised!

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

In 1969 Vietnam, handsome soldier Sam Worthington (as Darcy "Darce" Ryan) receives his release from war service. He goes home to live with the uncle who raised him as a son. Meanwhile, weighty gangster John Goodman (as Tony Testano) and his trigger-happy henchman Fred Williamson (as Sal Cassela) are dispatched from Chicago, USA to Sidney, Australia. Their mission is to take over the slot-machine racket run by crime boss Bryan Brown (as Barry Ryan) by infiltrating his organization. Experienced at killing people and blowing things up, Mr. Worthington's becomes Mr. Brown's young partner...Worthington could follow in his uncle's footsteps, or open his own pizzeria. A romantic subplot involves amorous Kestie Morassi (as Margaret), who so predictably switches partners you have to wonder what writer/director David Caesar intended. There is no real evidence, but perhaps Brown was trying to save his marriage to older, but still beautiful Toni Collette (as Sharon)...Not an Australian expert, but there isn't much here that looks like contemporary movies from 1969. Adept cinematographer Geoffrey Hall is employed to make up the difference by making the motion picture look like an aged Polaroid. It only makes you look for the "color restore" button. The original soundtrack is done well, but don't expect AC/DC's original "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" or a 1969 parade of hits. Direction and editing (by Mark Perry) do help keep it moving. Most elevated in the cast credits is Sam Neill (as Ray Murphy). There is something extra to see within the end credit roll.***** Dirty Deeds (7/18/02) David Caesar ~ Bryan Brown, Sam Worthington, John Goodman, Toni Collette

this movie is not at all what I expected. Sam Neill waltzes in about every 4th or 5th scene, says about 2 lines, and leaves. if you are a fan of john Goodman, this would be a great movie. but don't watch it to see Sam. you'll be sorely disappointed, as I was. the only reason I gave it a 5 was because of a couple of twists that were worth the waste of time.showing the "heart" side of the Australian mob is not really the best plot in the world, either. if you are a big mob movie fan, this in no way is as interesting as the godfather or scarface. but if you like police corruption, you're in.

The main reason i watch this movie because it had one of my favorite actor in it. He is the star of the "Big Bo" and Monsters inc. I love his soothing voice and singing (Although its nothing like Barry White and Usher) but his acting is GREAT. Well anyways about that movie. I really didn't understand the plot of it. It was about casino machines and stuff. and at the end of the movie john and the other kid get framed. i got bored through half the movie and basically fell asleep. so i was kinda disappointed in john because of choosing such a bad movie to star in. but i'll give it 7stars anyhow. Do i recommend this movie? if your a John Goodman fan its something to rent. if not just ditch it and find a nice good new movie to watch.

This film is so violent. In the opening sequence the amount of violence is too extreme with so little integrity. David Caesar seems to like films where everyone is threatened and seems to think its fine to use meaningless violence as entertainment. It also portrays Australians as complete idiots.
