Double or Nothing

Double or Nothing was an absolute delight to watch from start to finish. The spotlight on local shooting locations, particularly the Gold Coast, gave the film a uniquely Australian feel that really stood out. The cast featured an excellent blend of fresh faces and established actors, all of whom brought great energy and chemistry to the screen. The storyline felt original and exciting, with just the right mix of drama, charm, and laugh-out-loud moments. It was a fun, fast-paced film that didn't take itself too seriously, and that's exactly what made it so enjoyable. A fantastic watch and recommend to anyone who wants a good laugh!

I just watched 'Double or Nothing' and it's the best Australian film I've seen in years! The movie kept me glued to the screen from start to finish. The storyline is classic, and the characters' performances are amazing. It's truly a masterpiece. I hope Australian audiences support this brilliant film and give it the recognition it deserves. If you haven't seen it yet, you're missing out on something special. Make sure to catch it soon! 'Double or Nothing' is a film that deserves to be celebrated and appreciated by everyone. Its engaging plot and stellar performances make it a must-watch. Don't miss the chance to see it.

I was fortunate enough to see an early screening of Double or Nothing at BIFF - and now I NEED to take my dad and my partner because they are going to love it!! Seriously!!!

As a female who doesn't usually love this genre, I friggin LOVED it!!!

So much intelligent brilliance - I was hooked from start to finish. It's clever, intense, with the right amount of added humour it's just so well done.

One of my first thoughts after watching was how authentic it felt, you know how you often say when you watch the classics "they don't make movies like this anymore" - Double or Nothing felt like that, it was actually so refreshing to watch a movie with soul in it. It's got style but never felt overdone.

Trust me, go see it!!

We were fortunate to attend the premiere screening of "Double or Nothing " a few months ago. We were very impressed with this movie, an extremely professional production and very entertaining.

The movie had that Aussie feel to it, which is a unique quality and style, and this production team did it well.

The film is a credit to the Queensland Film Industry, some great performances by local and well known actors. It was good to see local areas being used for filming locations, very creative .

We will definitely be going to watch it again, when it is released in the cinemas.

Highly recommend you go and see this movie Double or Nothing when it comes out in the cinemas , support the Queensland film industry.

Attending the premiere of this film was an absolute delight. It's immediately evident that passion, grit, and dedication went into every frame of this production. Drawing inspiration from gritty '90s cult favourites like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and the Australian classic Two Hands, this film carves out a distinct identity while paying homage to cinematic greats.

Andrew Ian Hope delivers a standout performance as Turbo, capturing both intensity and charm. Tracey Filmer surprises with her portrayal of Bernie-a scene-stealing role that guarantees genuine laughs. The Gold Coast setting brings a sun-drenched, Miami-like backdrop that elevates the film's aesthetic, while clever nods to Ipswich (4305 represent!) offer a grounded, local authenticity rarely seen on screen.

The casting is equally impressive, featuring seasoned veterans like Vince Colosimo (Deacon) and John Jarrett (Col), whose presence adds gravitas. At the heart of the story is Nicole Payten-Betts as Mel, delivering both emotional depth and creative vision-her role as producer speaks volumes about the personal investment and care behind this project.

This film is a testament to Queensland's filmmaking prowess and a reminder that great stories can come from home soil. With heart, humour, and hard-hitting performances, it's on track to become a true cult classic.

8/10.
