Dirty Deeds is an Australian
crime picture inspired by real-life Sydney mobsters, and is set in the Sydney crime underworld of 1969.
Bryan Brown stars as Barry Ryan, a prominent gangster whose ruthlessness rivals some of the toughest in the trade. He lives with his downbeat wife, Sharon (
Toni Collette), and their son, but spends the majority of his time either with fellow mobsters or his mistress, Margaret (
Kestie Morassi). Ryan's business is threatened when a Chicago Mafia boss dispatches two of his goons to scope out the poker machine scene for a potential takeover. Tony (
John Goodman) and Sal (
Felix Williamson), however, are lost when it comes to Australian culture, and stick out like a sore thumb. Negotiating with the Americans will be difficult enough for Barry, but the real blow comes when he learns that one of his own gang members has been deceitful.
