Two Little Boys (2012) 7/10

Starring : Bret McKenzie, Hamish Blake, Maaka Pohatu, Filip Berg
Director : Robert Sarkies
Running Time : 102 mins

When Nige (McKenzie) accidentally kills a backpacker on a late night drive, he turns to his childhood friend Deano (Blake) to help dispose of the body. It isn’t long before his one-time best friend starts causing more trouble for Nige, culminating in him wanting to murder Nige’s new best friend Gav (Pohatu).

This could have been so much fun if the methods of getting rid of the body had have been more imaginative. The failed bromance between McKenzie and Blake is what does manage to keep this watchable, and the progressive insanity of Blake keeps you guessing as to what madcap idea he will come up with next. Fans of Flight Of The Conchords will be please to see that McKenzie has more than one string to his bow as his character here is very different, and Blake manages to remain both funny and sinister throughout the movie.
