Carl's life is a minefield. Dave's in charge of damage control.

A riotous rollercoaster of murder and mayhem set in inner Melbourne, this hit Australian comedy-thriller stars Sam Neill (Breaker Morant) as Carl, a middle-aged no-hoper who takes a job as a cook in a Greek nightclub and falls in with fetching barmaid Sophie (Zoe Carides). But when attacked by his drug-dealing Turkish kitchen hand, Carl inflicts a deathly response that sparks a deepening gangland feud. Best mate Dave (John Clarke - The Games) is soon employed as Carl's protector - and gravedigger - as a band of cutthroats block Carl's path to his bartending sweetheart.
