Bad Behaviour

Running time: 90 mins

Bad people making bad things look good.

The town of Cecil Bay is about to have visitors, and not the usual ones interested in its calm beach-side atmosphere. Emma and Peterson, psychopathic siblings on the run from a vicious debt collector, are cutting a murderous swathe through Australia, eventually leading them to this peaceful, unsuspecting community. The stories of a cop searching for the people responsible for his son?s murder, a wife cheating on her husband and a party of teenagers enjoying the weekend intersect, intertwine and ultimately end when they are sucked into the maelstrom surrounding the siblings and their pursuer.

With hints of Quentin Tarantino throughout, Joseph Sims? first feature film is full of the morbidity, flippant violence from which you just can?t seem to avert your eyes, humor and lively dialogue that one would expect from the more seasoned of the two.
