A generation before the Melbourne Gangland Wars, an even bigger crime wave rocked Australia. Hard drugs hit Australia like a tsunami. Drug money flooded the underworld. With the new money came a new breed of hard men and beautiful women. Aussie Bob Trimbole and Kiwi Terry Clark are an unlikely pair. One an overweight Italian-Australian who loves his food and marijuana crops; the other a charming young New Zealander, in love with money, power and the allure of beautiful women. But at their first meeting in 1976, Trimbole and Clark click. Together, they mastermind the large-scale importation and distribution of heroin into Australia. The easy success of their plan results in the underworld becoming awash with drug money, and a shift in the nature of organised crime in Australia. Old style crims, such as standover boys Les and Brian Kane in Melbourne, and illegal casino operator George Freeman in Sydney, find their criminal livelihoods suddenly overwhelmed by heroin. For Trimbole and Clark, the success of their 'Organisation' is dependent on Clark's charm, the contribution made by his lover Allison Dine in recruiting the drug couriers, and a network of corrupt NSW Police and judiciary. And for a time, they get away with murder - lots of it, starting with the assassination of NSW politician and anti-drugs campaigner Donald Mackay.

Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities: 3-Disc Set [Blu-ray] Review

The fascinating television import "Underbelly" finally got a U.S. distribution this month in a three season set, but you can only get individual seasons on the international market. I first became aware of "Underbelly" when I read that it was Australia's answer to "The Sopranos." Since that first comparison, I've heard the same point made countless times. To be frank, other than the fact that they are two adult series set in the criminal underworld, I don't think that generalized statement is very apt or has much bearing on whether or not you'll enjoy this show. If you are expecting a rich "Sopranos" type narrative and continuing storyline, this isn't quite going to fulfill your expectations. But that doesn't make it any less intriguing. The general tone of "Underbelly" is a bit more lurid. The show itself has much more of a docudrama feel, recreating significant true events in Australia's criminal history complete with plenty of gratuitous nudity and violence. With edgy camera work, quick cut editing, and a propulsive soundtrack--this is a show that aims at getting in your face. And for the most part, it succeeds. One of my favorite elements of the show is that each season is its own unique entity with new characters and charting a new story. Heck, it's become somewhat of a franchise with four complete 13 episode seasons and a series of TV movies.

A Tale of Two Cities (2009) 4 1/2 Stars: This series picked up Australian Film Institute awards for Best Lead Actor (Roy Billing) and Best Screenplay for a dramatic program. Although the U.S. set intimates this to be Season One, it is actually chronologically Season Two--but without a continuing story, the order is less important although I like to see how something progresses. This tells the story of the Griffith drug trade in the late seventies and early eighties and focuses specifically on two figures who ruled the roost--Aussie Bob Trimbole (Billing) and Kiwi Terry Clark (Matthew Newton). While the series covers a lot of ground during a pivotal period of history, the characters are not always as developed as you might like. Gripping and entertaining, it does lack some emotional impact for this reason. Even without this sometimes personal connection, though, the time period is inherently fascinating and disturbing. Well worth a look. KGHarris, 12/11.
