Australian small-town cop Gary enjoys his nearly pastoral existence, with traffic violations providing the major excitement to his normally low-key days. While away from work, Gary spends a good deal of time fantasizing about local news reporter Julia, who would just as soon relocate to the thriving metropolis of Sydney. Soon, however, a motorcyclist is found decapitated, with a construction worker, a sailor, and a cowboy and Indian also meeting the same fate. With some murderous weirdo with some sort of Village People fixation terrorizing the town, Gary -- with the help of big-wig city detective and Don Johnson-wannabe Tony Charles -- begins to realize that a cop is the last remaining victim to be murdered in order for the killings to be complete. ...

You Can't Stop the Murders Audience Reviews

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
marcus_stokes2000 *You Can't Stop The SPOILERS* Gary (Gary Eck) is a cop in a veery little town in the middle of Australia, where the fact that Premium Mincemeat is actually just normal mincemeat is a serious deal, and has very little to do except patrol without need the town streets with his kind-of-dumb partner Akmal (Akmal Saler) who constantly gets inane idea for movies, and suffer his very religious boss (Richard Carter).But when a mysterious killer begins operating in the little town, first murdering a biker and then a construction worker, Gary finally faces a true challenge, other than the annual line dancing competition which he absolutely wants to win.But the boss decides to bring in a cop from the city to investigate, and to our hero's misfortune, Agent Tony (Anthony Mir) is probably the stupidest and most obnoxious man on Earth, but he's a charmer. So much, in fact, that everybody, including Akmal and town reporter Julie (Kristie Hutton), the girl Gary's in love with, fall under his spell. Until he shows his true colors, that is.But as the bodies begin to pile up, including a French sailor/stripper and a comedic Cowboy/Indian duo, Gary understands that the killer is murdering people that are dressed like one of the members of the '70s disco band Village People, and that he's still got one more person to kill: a cop...He will manage to get out on top, though.'You Can't Stop The Murders' is a nice, funny and sometimes scary movie from Australia, which has been well-written, directed and acted, with the director (Anthony Mir) playing also a part (the Mega-Jerk).It may not be Shakespeare, but it makes for a nice 99 minutes.You Can't Stop The Murders: 7/10.
Hkr-j This is a really refreshing film given the height of junk my country has been spewing onto the silver screen of late.An Australian film with a script and story that doesn't seem like it has gone directly out of the scribble pad and onto the screen. It's funny, dark. The best film made here since Muriel's Wedding. I had hoped it would be the beginning of better things for our industry, but alas it would seem it is just a diamond in the rough.The only thing I have against it is the lack of technical depth with the filming. NOT EVERY Australian FILM HAS TO HAVE EVERY SCENE WITH MAXIMUM LIGHTING. Try having a bit of variety with the look.Definitely one for the DVD collection. Yay SBS Independent, and yay Miramax (if FFC won't fund good films, at least there are companies that will) Loved It!!!!!!!!!!!
donlhumphries This movie is so laid-back it's like a female contortionist. The sort of movie which could only be made in Australia; laconic in the Croc Dundee style, yet not so emphatically dinkum aussie as in "G'day mate" jargon. Professional film critics may give it one-and-a-half stars, but I'd give it a good three. Then maybe I'm easily pleased. I found it entertaining and amusing - if you're not too critical. You get a lot of chuckles and also some real laughs. I can imagine off-duty police seeing this picture, because it centres on the relationship between two local cops in a small town, and how their lives are fairly humdrum - until the murders start. A serial killer is loose, and the clue to his/her identity is in the occupation of the victim, and the symbolism of the corpse. The plot seems mainly a vehicle for sight gags and other humour, in Jacques Tati manner (Mon Oncle; M.Hulot's Holiday; Jour de Fête); yet there is an underlying tension due to apprehension as to who's going to be next victim. It's good to see perky Kirstie Hutton again (remember her from "Bullpitt!" on TV?), and all the lead actors are interesting characters; with an able and varied supporting cast. I think this movie should have popular appeal, at least in Australia, and might prove more successful than some would anticipate. ====================================================
pctune To start with, I'm a big fan of the stand-up work that the three co-stars are known for.That is why I rushed out to see the film, on a Thursday afternoon of all things. Take my advice, try and see this movie with a large crowd of 25-30's. Group laughter will certainly enhance your experience.Set in a small NSW town, with a population of 350, the movie follow the investigations of a serial killer who is stalking people who have professions used by the Village People. There are plenty of opportunities with the subject matter to get the audience into tears of laughter, but unfortunately the chances either not taken or are minimised with a laid-back small-town feel.This truly is a wait-for-video film.
