Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Seth_Rogue_One A underrated gem of a action thriller crime caper comedy that manages to wrap around multiple subplots quite neatly and always give you a couple of surprises along the way.Heath Ledger is very good in the lead, and co-stars as a young Rose Byrne as his romantic interest and Bryan Brown as a ruthless crime boss are also very good... In fact all of the cast deliver what they are supposed to.I watched it 15 years ago and really liked it, I wasn't sure if it was gonna be one of those movies that could stand the test of time but it really turned out to be able to do that when I rewatched it today, so that was nice.Yeah well worth seeing, and then some. Solid soundtrack as well.

ngmb Before seeing this film I had high expectations, since I hadn't heard a single bad thing about this film. I was slightly disappointed, but it was still very good. There are moments in this film, however, that are completely unnecessary. There weren't many stand out performances besides Bryan Browns which was absolutely amazing. Rose Byrne's performance was so, so bad. How she managed to get a career after this I do not know. In fact here character was just annoying and entirely unnecessary. Almost every scene with her could have been cut out, or her character could have been removed and it wouldn't make a difference. It would probably make the film better. That said there are some truly hilarious scenes in this film. My personal favourites are the bank robbery scene, the scene in the car afterwards, and the scene where the Bryan Brown's gang have Heath Ledger at gunpoint.

Ariadne Pyanfar The story is Far Out on a limb, as far as believability goes. But this is not the film to nitpick over that, because this story is all about style. It's as free and easy and light-hearted as awful crime ever gets, and it's as black and nasty and gruesome as comedy ever gets. Heath Ledger and Rose Byrne have such glowing youthful beauty, and enough screen weight to match Brian Brown and a solid supporting cast. This is one of those films where you forget to feel guilt ridden over laughing out loud at the misery of others. I congratulate the writers and director for such a deft balancing act. Many Americans might not like this because it's not their style of humour. If you are American and "get" British humour, or love Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, or Hot Fuzz, then you may well like this one too.

JOHNAMI "Two Hands" is an entertaining, funny story about Australian lowlifes. The screenplay contrasts the world of fast money and deadly acts with the inexplicability of fate and circumstance. In a subtle way we are asked to ponder the concept that major events in our lives are sometimes generated without our being fully aware of the root causes. The forces of fate and circumstance take Jimmy, the main character, into situations that bring about the realization of his shallow dreams and, ultimately, an understanding of a more personally promising world.The clueless Jimmy, portrayed with acumen by Heath Ledger, is a kid who grew up without opportunity. The high paying world of crime offers the greatest appeal to his blunted senses. The love and help of friends guides him to a higher plateau.The film is well-directed and well-acted. The band of criminals teeter between likable and despicable, keeping us interested in their crazy antics all through the film.
