Gettin' Square
Why this pick
Its battered criminals, institutional corruption and working-class Australian texture echo Money Movers, while the brisk plotting keeps the danger and dark humour moving.
03
The Hard Word
Why this pick
A bruising Australian heist film with betrayal inside the crew, compromised authorities and a hard-edged, downbeat momentum close to Beresford’s crime world.
04
Animal Kingdom
Why this pick
For Money Movers’ chilly criminal fatalism and tense power struggles, this offers a more intimate but equally ruthless view of Melbourne underworld loyalties.
05
The Proposition
Why this pick
Though set in the colonial outback, it shares the original’s harsh Australian moral landscape, terse menace and sense that violence follows every compromised choice.
