European Premiere

Kick On

Nick Kozakis | AU 2026 | 89 Min | DCP

Part of Nacht der 1000 Messer

During a night of wild partying, four young friends find themselves on the couch of a dealer whose father is, on top of everything, an infamous mobster. What sounds like the beginning of a joke soon snowballs into a nightmare: people die, drug money disappears, and anyway, where the fuck is the exit?! Australian filmmaker Nick Kozakis serves up 90 minutes of entertaining, edge-of-your-seat grind that’ll have you flinching and retching from start to finish. Kick On?! More like a kick in the crotch! (Amadeus Mader)
