This movie really could of been something. Instead, it's a half as..d attempt as an action drama, about real life on the Cross, a place I wouldn't go again to, as first visiting it two years ago, in the day, thank god, esp. with that senseless king hit death last year. This well intended flick wastes some bloody good actors, not including it's lead, Burgess, a David Argue lookalike, who's pathetic character, George, a down and out hustler, is fun to watch. We encounter a mob war too. How lucky is this? Model, Rosemary Paul, not bad as a heroin actor/pro starts work as an escort at a new dive. Her first client, first telling her to scream, then torches the place. We have some corrupt cops too. A younger, honest cop (Mackenzie) getting too smart for his boots, gets transferred to yeah, again... Coonabarabran, hope I spelt that right (movie joke). After getting drunk, a watchable fun moment, he decides to fight back, joining forces with George and his girl, to rid these corrupt pr...s., once and for all. He's off to a good start with this awesome looking buggy, fully protected, like something out a bad science fiction movie, Mad Max, or more so, Exterminators Of The Year 3000. But this isn't 3000, it's eighties reality, and I for one, am not impressed, where this film is a cut and paste job. Where did the other pages of script and plot go. Still, Dead Easy still manages to be bloody entertaining, if unintentionally funny at times, (like that clumsy choreographed dance number) mainly because the reality of it, is that's it's quite a pathetic movie, without meaning to be. It's title song isn't bad either, though most people wouldn't agree with me on that one. Mainly an Aussie effort for the undemanding.
