Good Aussie flick.... September 8, 2008

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!

I have collected all the Heath Ledger films since his unexpected and untimely death. This one was a bit odd for my tastes.
 The film that restored my faith in Australian cinema June 10, 2008

Strip-club pusher, Jimmy (Heath Ledger), wants to get in with Sydney crime boss Pando (Bryan Brown), but when he finally gets his chance, things don't go to plan. Jimmy loses $10,000 of Pando's money and had to find a way of getting it back fast before Pando and his goons catch up with him.
"Two Hands" is not just the best Australian movie I have ever seen, but it is one of the best movies made in any country that I have ever seen. The script of this movie is just so good. Sure, it is violent and about one third of the dialogue is made up of four-letter words, but structurally, the script is brilliant. Everything in the script has a purpose and it is fun to watch how a seemingly insignificant detail from the start of the film can pay-off in the second half. The characters in this film are also extremely well written. Writer/director Gregor Jordan doesn't just focus on Jimmy and Pando but shows all sides of the Sydney criminal community and gives Jimmy and Pando depth by showing us their families and friends. The contrast between Pando's home-life and his job is just hilarious. These characters don't feel like your standard movie criminals, they feel like real people. And finally, the acting is pretty good too. This is the film that gave Heath Ledger his big break and I can see why Hollywood started offering him film roles after this.
Australian cinema is notoriously bad. It is not uncommon to meet Australian's who just plain refuse to watch any movies made here and for a while, I was one of those people. Then I saw "Two Hands" (I watched it because Gregor Jordan also made "Buffalo Soldiers", which is one of my favourite movies) and I decided to give Australian cinema a second chance. If you are one of those people, you should give it a second chance, too, starting with "Two Hands".
One of Heath's best May 20, 2008

This movie is doesn't seem to come with the high and artsy aspirations of, say, a "Brokeback Mountain," but as far as I'm concerned, it ranks as one of Heath Ledger's best movies. Heath isn't the only laudable element; the other actors and actresses all do very well, fully supported by a good, solid script, good soundtrack, as well as nice work by the director and cinematographer.

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.
