Heath Ledger and Bryan Brown star in this film which never knows if it is a drama or a comedy. Some of the scenes are confronting and "hard core" while others seem hilarious and ludicrous at the same time. the true comedy comes through when you compare a tough Gangster film like "Casino" to "Two hands" were instead of wondering about their next job the criminals are more worried about getting home in time to pick up the children from soccer practice and make sure they have dinner on time.
The plot revolves around Jimmy, a young bouncer at a strip club in King's Cross who decides he wants more from life, especially cash. So to increase his earning power Jimmy makes himself known to the local mob boss Pando, played excellently by Bryan Brown. Jimmy thinks he has everything set with his new role as another pair of "two hands" working for Pando on high paid bank robberies and a like but all goes horribly wrong for Jimmy when he accidently looses $10,000 of Pando's money on his first day. Now Jimmy is at a race around the clock to get Pando his money before Pando gets Jimmy
