I like how the events in the movie are coming one after another and each one is caused by the previous. The movie has a good structure and is shot by the right angles. Everyone who is begging to make movies should watch it, it is a perfect example for a great composition in film. Seems to me that the older movies focused on the details more and the acting is more expressive. A simple parts are made with art and good play. Heath is born to be in front of the camera, even at the beginning of his career he is so deep into his role and make such a professional play. This film is a gem for the movie industry.

"Shot before Ledger hit fame, It's far from commercially-tame, "Shotties are good" In the Aussie-style 'hood', Bogan-humour without being lame."Read more limerick reviews or post your own at TheLimerickReview website!About Us:Welcome all to The Limerick Review, For feedback on films; both old and new, We sort classic from crime, In a quick five-line rhyme, Just browse or leave your point-of-view.If there is a film you want reviewed let us know.

This is my favourite Australian film, not because the cinematography, or acting is flawless. Just for heaps of tiny things.Jimmy (Ledger) is an average guy, wanting just a little bit more than the tiny bit he has in life. Pando (Brown) is the quintessentially Australian, crime boss who can give it to him. In the first scene Jimmy's being dragged into the desert by Pando's guys with guns out and stubbies on. We don't know how he got here, but we're about to find out. We're soon introduced to out narrator: A dead guy, digging at some dirt. He explains yin-yang; the good in the bad and the bad in the good.Two hands is part caper, part thriller, and a bit of romance. And it works. It's an unlikely story of bad luck and insane mishaps. Our narrator ghost is there to remind us that the preternatural isn't all that unnatural. Fate happens. No it's not cinematic genius (though Ledger's charismatic smile might count as a masterpiece). It doesn't break boundaries, or overturn canon. But the rough-edged characters are hilarious, the plot never fails to entertain, and I'm not sure there's anything like it floating around...Watch it. Or watch it again! If you don't ROFL during their "crime spree", you can direct your disappointment this way ;).

I just rented this at the local discount video store and am glad I did. It's a pitch-black comedy, thriller and romance all at once.Jimmy (Heath Ledger) is a sweet-natured, dim-witted amateur boxer and aspiring thug who screws up -- big-time -- his first assignment from the local crime boss in the sleazy section of Sydney, then spends the rest of the film trying to put things right.This is a small, satisfying film that even manages to be a character study of sorts, and, at the end, we see a kind of rough justice exacted by a street kid who may end up being the next local mob kingpin (or, should I say, queenpin, because I had the impression that this was actually a tomboy-like girl, in an excellent performance).If you like seeing a slender, bare-chested, baby-faced, curly-headed Heath Ledger -- and, hell, who doesn't? -- you will like this film.P.S. To me, a less-obvious-than-the-others-cited, but still apt, comparison would be to "The Good Girl," an even blacker comedy with Ledger's recent Brokeback Mountain co-star, a very young Jake Gyllenhaal.P.P.S. Others have listed several other good films from Oz. To that, let me add "The Sum of Us," starring a young, adorable and then-unknown Russell Crowe (Ledger is a younger Crowe, or Crowe is an older Ledger, however you want to look at it.).
