Four letter words
Director Scott Roberts' first movie, The Hard Word, is the movie Guy Ritchie should have made last summer when he was otherwise busy destroying his career with the Madonna bomb Swept Away. Originally filmed under the title Blood and Guts, this hyperactive Aussie crime-flick bombards the audience with a jumble of new and re-used ideas that somehow add up to a very enjoyable film. It's all here - a handful of stylishly executed robberies, a love triangle, the therapist who sleeps with her patients, cross-dressing police and sausages made from human flesh possibly most inventive way of hiding a corpse since Fargo.
