Synopsis:

Action and comedy are served in equal portions in this Australian crime thriller. Jimmy (Heath Ledger) is a 19-year-old living in Sydney who is somehow asked to run an errand for local underworld kingpin Pando (Bryan Brown). Before Jimmy knows what's happened, he owes Pando $10,000, and finds the gangster's muscle men are out for his blood. Jimmy attempts to stage a bank robbery to recover the loot, with disastrous results; when he has a spare moment, he tries to win the heart of Alex (Rose Byrne), a pretty girl from the country. This slam-bang entertainment was an uncharacteristic entry in the 1999 Sundance Film Festival, where it received its U.S. premiere.

Jimmy is a 19-year-old ex-street kid, an aspiring young hooligan who loses ten thousand gangster dollars and has to pull his first bank job to avoid the bullet. Jimmy works as a Kings Cross strip club bouncer when he gets his big break into the world of crime and meets Alex, the girl of his dreams. The local drug dealing gangster, Pando, asks Jimmy to act as a 'courier.' He is sent out on what seems to be a simple job. However it all goes wrong when a twist of fate sees two street kids, Helen and Pete, stealing the cash.

A young boy finds himself in deep water when he agrees to run an 'errand' for a crime syndicate boss - when things go awry, he ends up owing the gangster $10,000.
