![]() ![]() Meanwhile his ex-wife Laurel (Zoe Bertram) uses her sexual allure to twist him around her little finger whenever she needs him to mind their five children. ![]() Dirk tries to woo the charming morgue director Sandra (Susan Lyons) as he searches for clues to the mystery of the exploding brains. Though it is without any famous actors, it works pretty well, with Paul Chubb convincing as the grubby gumshoe, and Les Foxcroft hilarious as his ancient but ingenious offsider, Mickey. This is a low-budget film-noir spoof about a scruffy private detective, and his weird assortment of associates, who investigate some strange deaths in Sydney. But when one of his cheating husbands turns into the first of a series of bizarre deaths, Dirk decides to follow the case to its grisly end. The Roly Poly Man (1994) (Bill Young)ĭirk Trent is, by his own admission, a ‘no-frills private eye in a bad suit, working the arse-end of the market’, dealing with insurance cases, cheating wives and unfaithful husbands. It’s funny, fast-moving and most of the victims had it coming really. And compared to the gangsters who work for their loanshark, or the violent ambulance drivers who resent the boys moving into their turf, the boys seem like angels. ![]() Matt Day and Irish actor Jason Barry are both so likeable as the enterprising students that their crimes seem almost forgivable. One of the donors even recovers to the point that he comes to beat the boys up a few days later. Plus all of the ‘donors’ are either dead already or are selfish sh*ts who did the boys wrong. The subject of stealing people’s organs seems very dark, but the boys justify it to themselves by saying that the ‘donors’ can live with one kidney, but the stolen kidney will save another life. They hit upon the idea of stealing kidneys for a transplant racket, which they discover is operating at their hospital, but they find that other unscrupulous individuals resent their entry into this shady market. The two are final year medical students, who are desperate for money, to pay back a loan shark, to pay their overdue rent, to buy textbooks etc. This is a comedy about two good, young boys who drift into a niche area of crime through necessity. ![]()
