Two Hands

What a sad loss it was to lose Heath Ledger so young. Here in this edgy little Australian thriller he plays a foot loose young man on the edge of a life of crime, with great sensitivity. It’s an unusual movie, involving touches of the supernatural amongst a grim look at the sleazy underbelly of Sydney. Bryan Brown and the other members of his gang of bumbling small time hoods bring a uniquely Australian flavour to the gangster roles going about as they do in short pants. It’s a gripping and exciting ride with a number of unexpected turns.
