Moviehole has been supplied with the trailer for the new Australian film “The Combination”. Due for an Australian national release in February 2009 and put together by the filmmakers behind ”Chopper” (2000), the film tells a powerful and deeply affecting story of a contemporary Lebanese family in urban Australia.
John Morkos (George Basha) is released from prison intent on a new life, free of his old ways. But he finds his younger brother Charlie (Firass Dirani) being lured by the local underworld. Georges demands to stay clear of crime fall on deaf ears — Charlie has no respect for the former crim. In the thrall of gang leader Zeus (Ali Haidar), Charlies life oscillates between the schoolyard punch-ups and the gangland streets of his neighbourhood.
When John meets Sydney (Clare Bowen), a beautiful Aussie girl, and finds a job at the neighbourhood boxing gym his life is challenged and changed in unexpected ways. But Charlies continuing descent into the world of crime places the his whole family in harms way forcing John to risk his new life to right his younger brothers wrong.
