Money Movers is another highlight of Australian cinema of the 1970s. It is overshadowed by the more successful Mad Max and failed at the Australian box office when released.
This heist thriller is more inspired by British movies such as Get Carter or television shows of that era such as The Sweeney.
Brothers Eric Jackson (Terence Donovan) and Brian Jackson (Bryan Brown) work as security guards for Darcy's Security Services.
They plan to rob their own firm but crime boss Jack Henderson finds out about their plan and wants a big cut. He also plans to have them killed once the job is done.
Leo Bassett is an insurance agent who has gone undercover as a security guard suspecting something bad is about to take place. Dick Martin is a disgraced ex cop who gets a second chance at Darcy's.
Director Bruce Beresford has made a tough thriller adapted from a novel. You can sense there is a complex plot here as the disparate elements of the story start to converge.
The movie also explores police corruption. With all the subterfuge and double crosses, it has a ferocious bloodsoaked finale.
