“I’m working for a guy, doing odd jobs here and there”
Overview
Young go-getter Jimmy (Heath Ledger) isn’t wild about his deadbeat job as a Kings Cross strip club promoter. So when he gets a job offer from mob boss Pando (Bryan Brown), it seems like an opportunity to move up in the world. All he has to do is deliver $10,000 to a woman in Bondi. Easy enough, right? Not everything goes to plan, however, and suddenly Jimmy is left scrambling to repay the cash before Pando and his angry cronies come after him. Oh, and he’s got a newfound love interest (Rose Byrne) he’s dying to impress, too.
