The Hard Word is a well-acted Aussie crime thriller that falls short because the plot is so wildly improbable. Guy Pearce is solid as one of the greasy thugs. And Rachel Griffiths is deliciously slutty, far better work than what she later did in "Six Feet Under".
Overall, it should add up to better than the 4 rating that I'm giving it, mainly because it is so handicapped by ridiculous plot twists. You just can't buy into this film and that knocks it down a notch or two.
