I'M ALLERGIC TO LAXATIVES

Ray Jenkins (Angus Sampson) repairs TVs and is a bit of a dullard. In 1983 while the Royal Perth Yacht Club was giving a yachting lesson to their American counterparts, Ray wins a trip to Thailand. Ray's stepfather (Geoff Morrell) has some gambling debts and Ray reluctantly agrees to act as a mule to pay said debts. Ray swallows 20 condoms filled with heroin and gets nailed at the border. He is locked in a motel room until he releases his bowels. With an attorney (Georgina Haig) attempting to spring him, Ray is in a race against biology.

This is an interesting low budget film. Most of the "action" takes place in a motel room. There is stuff going on around him, such as the drug dealers reaction and that of his parents. The film is a crime drama. The "comedy" aspect is not due to any kind of humor or irony, but simply because of the crudeness of the subject matter.

Okay film for someone who watches a lot of crime dramas.

Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

Another overlooked Aussie gem that'll have you bursting!!

Boy is this an unusual film, inspired by true life events.

Melbourne 1983, we meet Ray Jenkins, a quiet chap very much still tied to his mother's apron. The film starts off with him detained by customs, set to undergo a physical examination, they're looking for crack (haha.) It skips back two weeks, shows how he was bullied into becoming a drugs mule. Very impressionable and malleable, Ray is sent out to Thailand with his team mates, pretty much for one sole reason. Refusing a medical Ray is detained in a hotel under house arrest, under constant Police watch, while they wait for him to pass the drugs naturally. He's ultimately held for 12 days, and all those around him have different interests in him being able to pass the evidence.

This is such an unusual film, it definitely gets better as it goes on, it features some truly horrific scenes, the early, soft tone of the movie puts you off your guard, some of the scenes that follow are truly unexpected and unpleasant.

Plenty of unexpected twists throughout. It's so satisfying on so many levels.

There are elements of humour, to me they seem a little unnecessary, a little out of place, they didn't really need to be there, but the rest of the film is so watchable, credit to Angus Sampson, previously seen in Insidious he gave a brilliant, watchable performance.

Ultimately very satisfying. 8/10

Aussie drug trafficking tale based on actual events

This is a really well made film; the plot surrounds Ray who is a bit on the 'slow' side. He plays a bit of 'footie' at his local club and mends electrical goods for a living. Still at home with his parents who are having financial problems. So when he gets made an offer by one of his closest mates to earn some easy cash – he decides to go for it.

It involves a trip to Thailand and more importantly a return trip with a rather full stomach. What follows is a story that had me totally gripped. There are some truly disgusting scenes here too so really make sure you are nowhere near food while this is on – and for a while after.

The acting is all top notch - Ray is played brilliantly by Angus Samson ('Fargo') but the real plaudits have to go to the perfectly horrible cop – Det. Tom Croft played by the superb Hugo Weaving ('Mystery Road') who oozes bad cop in a way that balances sleaze with old school policing and the tension is pounding for most of thisthriller – completely recommended.
