Dirty Work (1998)

Synopsis (spoilers): Two friends start a company which provides revenge for a fee. They expect to make $50,000 which they intend to use for bribing a surgeon into moving a person to the top of the organ receiving queue. They get involved with a fraudulent real estate mogul who doesn't pay them for a job they did. It consisted of tearing down an apartment building. They team up with the former tenants in a plan to ruin said mogul. They finally receive the expected amount through blackmailing.

Appraisal: Apparently this film was met with some rejection which I suppose had to do with its somewhat immature sense of humor. Anyway, its script displays some amount of cleverness, and I actually found some of the stuff funny to some extent.

Note: The film's basic idea is obviously based on the lyrics to the song by Young/Young/Scott which is played in it and which was first released in 1976.

Rating: 44
