BODY BLOW
A cop goes undercover in Sydney's neon-lit gay nightlife, but danger lurks when he falls for a seductive bartender. A slick erotic thriller featuring Paul Capsis (Head On).
Disgraced cop Aiden (Tim Pocock) is sent deep undercover into Sydney's pulsing gay nightlife – a world of neon haze, sweat and shifting loyalties. There he meets Cody (Tom Rodgers), a younger bartender whose charm quickly complicates his mission. But Cody answers to Fat Frankie, a commanding drag queen, brought fabulously to life by Paul Capsis, who pulls Aiden into a web of crime and danger. The film also features an unforgettable performance from Sacha Horler (The Dressmaker). Director Dean Francis (Drown) delivers a bold, stylish film with impressive visuals, charged performances and a moody energy that gives this erotic thriller a raw edge.
Shot on location at Stonewall Hotel Oxford Street.
