Two Hands

Hard to understand accents and no subtitles on dvd but loved the movie ... one of greatest and earliest Heath did .. can see his earlier talent.... ironies in this great credit to Gregor Jordan who wrote it

a very watchable Australian film of gangsterism in the shoddy parts of this country we usually don't get a chance to see. a non-stop storyline with very fine acting including the great bryan brown. an early look at the coming of a great actor we got to know as heath ledger. one tip....perk up your American ears to a very aussie tongue-twisting delivery. tip two...enjoy.

Great film, certainly not run of the mill. Beginning of Heath Ledger's remarkable albeit short career. He is so youthful and sexy. He makes the movie. Easy to see why his career took off. Wish he had washed his hair. Hard to believe that an Australian film would present Australia so poorly with slums, sleaze, violence, and disreputable persons. No one had tourism in mind. Needless to say, there are no pictures of the Sydney Opera House. The violence is almost comedic at times, hard to do. No clue as where the title came from, maybe from a song listed in the credits. The big failing is that there are no subtitles, not even in English. The Australian dialect is difficult to understand to wit. I could not understand at least half the dialogue; a surprising oversight considering the involvement of Miramax and Showtime.

Looking for Heath Ledger movies? Avoid this one. Strange premise and strange plot.

Excellent Australian crime genre film with a few quirks, which isn't unusual. I first saw it several years ago. For some reason Amazon only has the edited-for-TV version, which as best I can remember only replaces words. That is unfortunate because the dialogue is crafted well and profanity is not gratuitous and excessive.

An awesome surprise. Fabulous movie. Really great story. 5 stars for sure. Great Australian cast. One surprise after another. I like to share really great movies. This one will get passed around. So glad I found it. Typically, Americans know so little about foreign movies. Too bad we miss great productions as this one is. Really glad Amazon offers such a wide, varied selection. This one is Very highly recommended.

This movie is an Australian gangster movie, which isn't something you see every day. It has a bit of a Guy Ritchie feel to it, so I really liked it, being a fan of his. Heath Ledger is great as the lead. If you are a fan of gangster type films, or a fan of Heath Ledger, pick this one up. Very good.

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.

Until I saw this I wasn't sure who Heath Ledger was. This was one of those lucky discoveries I made some time ago whilst living and working in Australia.

Thanks

Purtroppo una stella perché il disco era difettato e quindi non sono riuscita a vederlo Un bel cinque stelle però per il venditore che gentilmente, perché impossibilitato a sostituirlo con un altro, ha prontamente restituito la cifra pagata.
