Editorial Reviews

Synopsis Barry Wirth (Sam Worthington) is fresh out of prison and determined to stay on the straight and narrow. But like his mate Johnny "Spit" Spiteri and reformed gangster turned restaurateur, Dabba, he finds out the hard way that there are old scores and a few new ones that´ll make gettin´ square a lot harder than he thought. Gettin´ Square is the most award-nominated Australian film in 25 years - it has been acclaimed by critics and loved by audiences. David Wenham´s side-splitting performance as the loveable and hapless Johnny Spiteri, saw him win the Best Actor category in every major Australian film award through 2003. The superb ensemble cast also includes, the critically acclaimed, Timothy Spall and one of Australia´s finest actors, Gary Sweet.. Sinopsis: El recién salido de prisión, Barry Wirth, está decidido a seguir las tres normas elementales de los que se reincorporan a la sociedad: Empezar de nuevo, seguir el camino correcto y permanecer sobrio. Pero al igual que sus amigos Johnny Spit y Dabba, un gangster reformado dedicado al negocio de los restaurantes, Wirth se dará cuenta que de la manera más difícil que hay muchas viejas cuentas y muy pocas nuevas que lo ayudarán a mantenerse en las normas que el mismo se estableció y al final, deberá saldar cuentas pendientes para poder seguir adelante. Sinopsis "Gettin´Square" trata sobre cómo volver a empezar de cero, mantenerse limpio y en la senda de la virtud. Barry Wirth (Sam Worthington, de "The Great Raid" y "Dirty Deeds") acaba de salir de prisión y está decidido a no apartarse del camino recto y estrecho. Pero al igual que su compadre Johnny "Spit" Spiteri y que Dabba, un gángster rehabilitado convertido en hostelero, descubre por las malas que quedan viejas cuentas y algunas nuevas por ajustar, y que por todo ello, saldar deudas resultará mucho más difícil de lo que llegó a creer..

5.0 out of 5 stars Why isn't this available in Region 1??, October 21, 2005
If you want to see David Wenham do a complete opposite of his "Noble Faramir" in Lord of the Rings, THIS is the flick - his itchy, twitchy Johnny Spit is priceless as the junkie who isn't quite the dumbass he appears to be. A fun movie that is amazing heart-warming, considering the characters are all cons and ex-cons! If you're looking for a funny comedy that pokes gentle fun at the hard time criminals have getting away from the old life, you'll enjoy this. This is a super little Aussie movie that it is a crying shame isn't available in Region 1. I had to watch a friend's, and wish there was some way I could get my hands on my own.

4.0 out of 5 stars Joe Bondi, December 23, 2005
By 
Joseph R. Bondi (Ashburn, Virginia USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Just saw the last two-thirds of this movie on the Sundance channel. Neat, clever Aussie comedy, with good acting and directing--a great "feel good" movie with the almost good guys winning over the bad guys. Very entertaining. Tried to find it online so I could see it all, but alas, not gonna happen until it is released in USA DVD format.

4.0 out of 5 stars Aussie masterpiece: male naivety rules, April 5, 2007
Usual for Aussie movies mix of naivety, crime, copulating, drug-issues, kicking-the-faces and swearing resulted in a-little-with-reality easy-watching police comedy disclosing unwillingly a gray empty nothing-upon-a-life to do existence of an-even-ethnic-majority-belonged commoners in Australia.

Nice performance and music add to entertaining side of this movie.
