Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

greg-86121 What a refreshing movie. All of the Aussie actors I love. Just pure fun. It cheered me up no end. No pretense. The actors I now know some years later, just amazing. I did not even know of this film but watched it on Foxtel this afternoon. It records the era of monumental police corruption but in a very funny way

Steve West I watched Bad Eggs with the preconception that it was a mix of serious cop drama and comedy. After watching The Late Show and listening to Martin/Molloy, Tony Martin has come to my attention again through his return to the airwaves on MMM. I am catching up on the self-confessed movie buff's interim works by watching Bad Eggs and reading his book Lolly Scramble.Bob Franklin and Mick Molloy didn't strike me as the two best leading actors for a film, but they perform respectably within the low budget Australian comedy format. The comedy and drama are better integrated than I was expecting, Bad Eggs is basically a tale of two detectives with a capacity for ineptness and clumsiness, who get mixed up in corruption in their own department, the fictional Zero Tolerance Unit of Victoria. There probably actually are individual agencies like this now with a similar lack of transparency, with ASIO recently being expanded and given increased powers. The film gets serious when the two detectives get deeper and deeper in the poo, but the comedic elements return when they strike back with the help of Northey, played by Alan Borough. On the whole Bad Eggs is akin to a film like True Lies on the comedy scale, it is primarily a drama with comedy arising from storyline elements rather than from deliberately inserted jokes. It never manages to excel in any particular area but what was achieved was a film with a professional look, a storyline that maintains interest for the first 90 minutes, and a cast of fairly decent Australian actors and comedians.

refsp Ok. Sad. Predictable. Not funny. Australian action. I dunno... These are minutes of my life which I will never ever get back.... ever...sorry.

pharrop Mmm. 'Bad Eggs' taste good. I didn't reach for the jaffas til halfway through this satisfying story, when I took a breath and realised I was deeply in movie land, concerned for the safety of the main characters, letting the mood setting music lull me along, laughing til I snorted at all the jokes 'raising the eyebrow' at the standard movie cliches. A lifetime of movie watching (bought on by asthma maybe, or was it the other way around) as well as quality movie industry interviews while on radio, has certainly given Tony Martin the skills required to deliver a top view. Go and enjoy this Australian sense of humour and story telling from a deeply talented NZ born man, admirably supported by his TV experienced wife, setting a damned high bar for the local industry.
