Australian Gangster

I rarely watch anything made in Australia and this is a prime example why, the acting was bad, really bad. I am not a fan of children in movies and TV and in this mini series they were especially annoying. Give this a miss.

This movie/2 part series shows all that can wrong when an inept Australian film production company is let loose. The worst Australian crime show/movie/series I have ever watched.

The main character and story is centered around the Pasquale Timothy Barbaro. He is an Italian crim apparently, who wants to live the good life in Sydney. He doesn't give a lot of thought to the decisions he makes or the consequences. Alexander Bertrand who plays the Italian Pasquale, plays him with an Arabic accent? Supposedly based on a true story, if it was a true story, it was must of been a bad story.

It seriously looks like the crew from Fat Pizza/Houso's made this mess.

How anyone could rate this rubbish at a 2 or more is a total mystery to me.

I didn't find it horrific at all.

I aimlessly cane across it, watched it. Enjoyed it. I mean sure it's not going to win an Emmy but it happily filled in a few hours.

I didn't know anything about this guy and I honestly felt bad for him.

I dont know why the people in here hating so much! This is a realistic mini movie about the organized crime in Australia. Not a classic but as a fan of the gangster/prison flicks I liked it.

Thought I would try to counter some of the other reviews. Violent criminals are mostly very unpleasant people and this show is full of such people. Paz is not a lovable crim like Ray Shoesmith (Mr Inbertween) Paz is man of low intelligence and high energy trying to climb to the top. He and his colleagues are deeply unpleasant individuals who should be locked up or shot depending on your point of view. They are violent and deeply unpleasant asshats. In that respects they remind me of the characters in Goodfellas, a film I can no longer watch. Much as I love Ray Shoesmith as a character, I hate Paz, I want to see him dead. This is not bad acting, bad acting I wouldn't care. I will admit I find the film hard to watch because the show is full of authentically nasty characters.

Anyone who has been on the receiving end of such people would most likely agree (if they are left alive.)
