Nothing Men, The

Aroview: Intense blue collar chamber piece stars Colin Friels as one of a group of laid-off factory workers who believe an industrial spy out to cancel their redundancy payouts may be among them.

With stageplay origins that evoke the vitriolic male sparring of GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS and TWELVE ANGRY MEN, this is a compelling portrait of aggressive Aussie masculinity that’s held together by some great, confrontational dialogue, even if things become overheated by the film’s end.
