Peter Dellasandro, played by co screenwriter Lachy Hulme, is an urban cowboy, a failed restaurateur who thinks Christopher Skase gave his profession a bad name, there`s a right way and a wrong way to be a sleazy son of a bitch, so he`s only too prepared to devise a plan to bring Skase down, particularly when he meets D`Amato, the Chairman of the Qintex creditors` board and his son Danny, Alex Dimitriades. He and the mercenary soldier Mitch, Bill Kerr, put together a mean team to invade Skase`s home in Majorca to put a spoke in his plans to create a media empire in Europe. There`s the intelligence expert Rupert, Adam Haddrick, a driver, Nick Sheppard, surveillance, Torquil Neilson, and to add heart and soul to the enterprise Danny`s included... it`s not a dream team, not by any means...There`s an irreverent humour in this ridiculously chaotic, ambitious film that`s tremendously likeable. The plot doesn`t bear too much close attention but co-writers Lachy Hulme and Matthew George, who directed, have given the film a cheekiness that`s ultimately very charming. Performances gather momentum through the course of the film helping to distract from the sheer improbability of most situations. It`s a romp and it`s an enjoyable one.
