Double or Nothing

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!!

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.

Australia has long had a fascination for exposing the Underbelly of the criminal world that "most of the time" quietly operates below the surface of the "True Blue" exterior (maybe its all those bushranger...no idea).

Films such as Animal Kingdom, Two Hands, Gettin' Square and Chopper has played in this sand box, all presenting potentially horrific or completely illegal situations with a distinct Aussie wink and a nudge.

The lastest film from independent filmmaker, Dru Brown, keeps this tradition moving swiftly forward and well and truly alive within "Double or Nothing" - a crime caper set behind the backdrop of the Gold Coast.

With a Stella cast featuring John Jarratt, Vince Colosimo, Steve Mouzakis and Erin Connor, the whole caper is anchored by our two leads in Rowan Howard as the sympathetic crim trying to go straight, Nick and troublesome cousin played by Andrew Ian Pope.

Whilst the cinematic format brings life to these colour characters on the big screen, it definitely lends itself to "further adventures" of our entire cast in a television format to further flush out story beats and character development.

Check out this great little Aussie film. Recommend. 👍

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!

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.
