Body Blow

Officer Aiden Hardwick is a young Sydney policeman with something to prove, and his latest assignment sends him undercover into the city's gay nightlife. There he crosses paths with Cody, a magnetic bartender and male sex worker who answers to Fat Frankie, a drag queen who runs drugs and keeps compromising secrets on the local police. The deeper Aiden goes, the harder it becomes to tell the job from the attraction, and he soon finds himself caught in a deadly conspiracy between crooked cops and the criminals they claim to be chasing. Written and directed by Dean Francis, this Australian neon noir stars Tim Pocock as Aiden, Tom Rodgers as Cody, Paul Capsis as Frankie and Sacha Horler as Steele, Aiden's partner and handler. Body Blow was an Official Selection at Fantastic Fest and Festival do Rio in 2025 and at the Sydney Film Festival in 2026.
