Criminal Eddie Weaks has been killed in a car accident following a bank heist. Journalist Tom Stewart (Colin Friels) leaves the accident with the cash, after promising to give it to Eddie’s girlfriend Suzie (Marise Wipani). Tom and his photographer Mick (Kym Gyngell) drive straight to Weaks’s house, where Tom gives her $15,000, in return for an exclusive about Eddie. At home, Tom dumps the contents of Eddie’s bag on a table – a substantial pile of cash.
Curator’s notes
The filmmakers were aiming for the feel of a modern film noir with this rain-soaked opening. The pace is lively, the set up is promising, the characters hard-boiled. We don’t yet know if Tom is fully corrupted or just an opportunist, but he’s certainly grubby.
