David Wenham in Spit.

David Wenham returns as Johnny ‘Spit’ Spitieri in Spit – a sequel to 2003 film Gettin’ Square.

Spit is a genuinely hilarious Australian comedy which we all know are few and far between nowadays. 

After 20 years on the run overseas, small-time ex-criminal Spit slips back into Australia on a false passport only to find himself locked up in an Immigration Detention Centre with a massive target on his back as old enemies come looking for him, determined to settle old scores.

As he struggles to stay one step ahead, the resourceful Spit finds new friends in detention, teaching them his version of mateship, and what it means to be truly Australian.

Cinema Australia recently caught up with Wenham who’s currently embarking on a Q&A tour to promote the film which is in cinemas nationally now.
