What happens
Cops and Robbers is a 1993 Australian-New Zealand film about a bankrupt man who embarks on a career of crime. It was renamed during production to Kevin Rampenbacker and the Electric Kettle due to the release of an American film titled Cops and Robbers. It screened at a film festival in New Hampshire and had a video release in Hungary. Helen Martin in New Zealand film, 1912-1996 says it "aims to be a black, off-the-wall, action-packed comedy drama. It inverts expectations (old women buy condoms, a wino drinks out of a wine glass) with a heavy hand and the pace drags." Leigh Paatsch in The Age joked that it had set back Grant Dodwell's chances of fame on the big screen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
