Movie Reviews of Ned Kelly
Movie Review: A FINE FILM
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a film well worth watching. Heath Ledger is impressive and entirely believable as Ned Kelly. Other performances are commendable, particularly Orlando Bloom. That said, Ledger's depiction of the title character and the impression he makes in his interpretation serves to add to an all-too brief but considerable legacy in film.
Summary of Ned Kelly
An epic story of one mans struggle against corrupt lawmen to fight the oppression of his people & avenge his familys name. In the process he becomes the most wanted man the world had ever known - and a legendary hero. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 02/08/2005 Starring: Orlando Bloom Naomi Watts Run time: 110 minutes Rating: R Director: Gregor JordanMaking no attempt at factual accuracy, Ned Kelly is still an engaging action film with its heart in the right place. You don't need to be a student of Australian history to know that a movie about the life of the notorious folk hero and outlaw is not going to be a light-hearted romp through the outback. Injustice, persecution, and unlawful imprisonment are the meat of his story, all presented here with not too much of a rose-tinted perspective amid generous doses of obligatory action. Rebellious teenager Ned Kelly (Heath Ledger) is wrongfully imprisoned for stealing a horse and, when he returns to the bosom of his large Irish family, finds that the police won't let him go straight. After being accused of a crime he didn't commit, Kelly is left with no option but to go on the run. Accompanied by his gang (among them Orlando Bloom) he robs banks to survive and also to gather the money to free his family from prison. There is some considerable romanticizing of the story and the man himself, due in part to Ledger's affable Robin Hood-esque working-class hero portrayal. Bloom is wide-eyed and daring as Kelly's main man, and Naomi Watts as his married mistress has the thankless task of breaking up some great action sequences to play the unnecessary love interest. Originally filmed as a Mick Jagger vehicle in 1970. --Kristen Bowditch
