A 1988 Australian film set in the outback starring Deborra-Lee Furness.
Trailer: Good Time
A bank robber finds himself unable to evade those who are looking for him.
Auteur siblings Josh and Benny Safdie set their stories among criminals, madmen, junkies and other New York marginalia, often casting people from the city's dirtier streets.
This time round they have also cast Robert Pattinson, playing brilliantly against the willowy type as Connie Nikas, a small-time bank robber who busts his mentally challenged brother Nick (Ben Safdie) out of hospital in the first frantic scene and spends the rest of the film trying to provide for him.
Not that we are asked to weep for this brother's keeper – Nikas' idea of providing is taking him along on a hold-up – but within the rattling heist format the Safdies and co-writer Ronald Bronstein pick away at the moral equivalences and distinctions marbling their subjects' crooked lives.
