Movie Review: Two Hands
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie Two Hands was an action pact movie that kept you going from the minute you started watching it till the end. Heath Ledger's acting is legend.Movie Review: Heath Ledger is fantastic in a great Aussie flick....
Summary: 4 Stars
Heath Ledger (Casanova, Ned Kelly) is fantastic as Jimmy who is supposed to do a clean in and out job for Pando, played by Bryan Brown (Tai-Pan, F/X movies) and delivery 10,000 dollars but he eventually loses it to some kids. Now, Pando is out to get Jimmy so he can kill him for screaming the job up. Jimmy falls in love with Alex, played by the cute Rose Byrne (The Tenants, Wicker Park) who gets caught up with Jimmy's problem. Jimmy's dead brother Michael, played by Steven Vidler (Blonde, Dog Watch) watches over him, narrates sometimes, protects his brother. The characters intertwin with one another at some point. It's Australian, yes! But this crime caper, comedy/drama, whatever you wanna call it is a scrorcher, a blazer. The direction itself is awesome and the performances are great. The best parts and the highlights would have to the the whole Bank Robbery scene and the getaway....comical and brilliant. One of the movies Heath Ledger was in before he became famous. Brown is a great badguy and Byrne, like I said is cute and that accent is adorable. Also starring David Field (Black Jack '03, Chopper), Susie Porter (Better Than Sex, Feeling Sexy) and Tom Long (The Dish, Echo Point). I recommend this highly to anyone in the crime caper genre...it's great!Movie Review: So it's on DVD in America!

A few years ago, I drove about 25 miles especially to buy this movie (used, on VHS) from Blockbuster. I wanted to see everything Heath Ledger had ever acted in, and I couldn't find Two Hands anywhere else.
I'm not a big fan of black comedies, but this is a pretty good one. There are some funny bits (particularly the parts with Heath's character's dead brother--Jimmy?), some intriguing bits (parallelism between a couple characters, for instance), and some nice little pieces of continuity in the plot (the way the plot traveled actually reminded me a little of the movie Go).
I'm glad I got the movie and watched it, but I don't think I'm going to buy the DVD; I may even sell my videotape. I just don't watch the show that often, and I'm not sure I want my kids to have access to a show this dark & violent at a very young age.
Movie Review: Good Aussie flick....
Summary: 4 Stars
and Heath Ledger's smile lights up the screen. Ever since his untimely death, I've been trying to see all his work. I was lucky to find this film at a used movie store. Although I can't say this is one of my favorite flicks...I will say it is worth watching...especially if you are a Heath Ledger fan or you like action flicks. There's alot of four letter words and violence - so this isn't a film for little children. But it is a good ride and it has a nice ending. Karma - don't mess with it!Movie Review: Unexpectedly good
Summary: 4 Stars
A great Australian move that depicts the low life with wry humor. Heath Ledger plays his role with sympathy for the character without becoming at all sentimental. The inclusion of the dead brother character was a little weird but in keeping with the tongue-in-cheek nature of the film. If you like action films that poke fun at violence then you'll enjoy this film.
