A dark Australian comedy about a boy who witnesses a murder by a professional hit-man and spends the rest of his life wanting to be just like him. Now an adult he carries out hits working for an older lady who gives him the jobs. His partner spends all his time trying to sabotage all the hits his friend executes. Giving him a gun that doesn't work or tipping off the marks about their future is what he does. It turns out he is having a blackmailing affair with the hit-man's wife and he wants the husband to get killed so he can have her all to himself. The wife doesn't want anything to do with him but knows that he'll tell her husband a dark secret that will destroy him. The plot thickens when the hit-man is caught by a female police officer just after a hit and she in turn blackmails him to have sex with her or she'll turn him in.

A wonderful film that shows a man trying to do the best job he can and overcome obstacles. Not a violent film just a light hearted look at murder for hire.

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** This is exactly what you'd expect if you gave some thick teenage boys the money to make their own film - lots of pointless violent scenes, childish sex scenes, shallow characters and the simplest story possible. Oh yes, and there's a highly original gun battle scene near the end where the hero is alone and kills about a dozen adversaries. The original bit is that all their bullets somehow miss him completely, but he manages to shoot them all dead. Inspired, eh?

A funny tongue in cheek romp about a try-hard hit-man who is trying to organise his first big hit. Not all that bad a movie. The DVD version actually has interviews with all the cast, and a full cinematographic analysis of the movie which you can listen to instead of the soundtrack. Now admittedly this is for die-hard fans of schlock noir, or for the mums and mates of the cast and crew, but some (like me) may find the gratuitous commentary interesting.

Moder and Richardson started making Super 8 movies at High School - the style of SNAK was evident in these early movies (circa 1983),which actually pre-date Tarintino's Pulp Fiction by many years, although SNAK would be regarded as derivative. I recall seeing Pulp Fiction and thinking that Moder/Richardson had been pipped at the post. I enjoyed watching their riposte, and was glad to see that all those shirts that were stained with false blood over the years actually bore fruit.
