Two Hands (1999)
7/10
Worth renting, top notch screenplay.
25 June 2001
I was somewhat unsure of whether or not Two Hands was going to be worth the cost of renting. I was a little disappointed in the beginning, just because I thought for certain it was going to set the precedent for the rest of the movie. I think if I watched it again, I would find the beginning more entertaining just for the fact that I know what is going to happen in the ending. Overall, the cast is wonderful. I thought the presence of Jimmy's brother was a little out of place. I wish they hadn't made him look so gnarly, maybe a little more ghostly. The bank robbery scene was very Quentin-esque, I liked that. The humor was incredibly well done. The actors were very raw, and genuinely Australian. None of this Americanized Australian crap. I like foreign films because it gives us a chance to hear the dialects and slang terms used by other nationalities. Heath Ledger was charming as always. Overall, this movie was very good. I would highly recommend it. I will buy this one if I can find it.
