Anton Tennet is John, a small-town criminal with a heart of gold and a mind like melted hokey pokey. John dreams of getting enough money to move to bustling Paeroa with Kelly, his boss Shelton’s sister. Sent by Shelton to rob the local triad, John snags an ancient Chinese bracelet with mysterious powers. Absconding with the stolen cash, he uses the bracelet’s time-travelling properties to escape his enraged boss, only to discover that when you start altering timelines, nothing will ever quite be the same again.
This laconic action comedy features a fully committed cast, alongside inspired performances from genre stalwarts Jonny Brugh (What We Do in the Shadows) and Milo Cawthorne (Deathgasm). Wearing its cinematic influences like a badge of honour – from the goofy mysticism and inspired action sequences of Hong Kong cinema, to the rapid-fire repartee of contemporary crime comedies – Mega Time Squad is not only a blast, but is wrapped in a hopeful veneer that could only come from a filmmaker who once worked at Pak‘nSave Thames. — Ant Timpson (programmer for NZIFF - Incredibly Strange)
