Idiot Box (film)
Idiot Box is a 1996 Australian film starring Ben Mendelsohn.
One day Kev tells Mick they have drawn their last dole cheque. Instead of giving into their limited circumstances, they are going to get rich quick doing the only thing they are qualified for crime. Conning a friend into driving the getaway car, the gang of three plan a bank robbery. But it is a heist that is doomed from the start when professional criminals target the same bank.I think that Idiot Box is about two young men who are doing the best they can with the resources available to them. Now, the fact that the resource available, as far as theyre concerned, is robbing a bank doesnt change the fact that its still about them trying, basically not giving up. Im surprised that people havent come down on me for saying, Oh, this is going to promote people robbing banks. The issue with the film, from my point of view, is that it was about people who hadnt given in to their circumstances. ........
