David Stratton

The Australian

Part of the film's pleasure is to be found in the amusingly gormless conversations (thanks to screenwriter David Brechin-Smith) in which they engage. Lowdown Dirty Criminals is rude and crude - and quite disarming.

Rated: 3.5/5

Paul Byrnes

The Age (Australia)

Even broad comedy requires a light touch, a sense that things are happening spontaneously. This one feels like the first rehearsal of a script that wasn't ready.

Rated: 2/5

Guardian

Rolleston is not just a likeable presence; he seems to bend the tone of the entire film in his lowkey direction, giving it a hard-to-hate sincerity even when it is vulgar.

Rated: 3/5

This isn't a classic by any stretch and it's hardly what you'd call original, but loads of energy and the occasional shootout can conceal a lot of sins.

Rated: 3.5/5

It's a complete hoot. And, face it, we could all use a chuckle.

Overall, opinions on a film like Lowdown Dirty Criminals will most certainly vary. It has moments that feel witty and violent, but it can also feel slightly childish at other times. Some moments rely on crude gags for shock value. Performances are ok, with actors Rebecca Gibney and Scott Wills being most memorable. The fun audio mix also helps with the film's pace and creativity. This is not a film that I'll hold close to my heart or keep in my film collection; in fact, I fear it could all be forgotten by tomorrow.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
