Watch Two Hands For Free

Simply Perfect

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

One of the main reasons that I decided to see this movie is that it depicted the criminal underworld in Australia, and in a way is an Australian version of Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. Unfortunately is tries too hard to be like that movie, and it is far from being tight and well executed. Instead it stumbles around a bit and gets caught up in pointless romantics while deciding whether it is a funny or a serious movie, and really does not make up its mind.Two Hands is about a young lad, Jimmy, who works as a bouncer and is a very good fighter, and how he is given a chance by Pando, the crime boss. Jimmy is simply instructed to take ten grand to a woman at Bondi beach, but he unfortunately loses it. So Jimmy must get Pando's money back for him while avoiding Pando's men. He ends up doing this by robbing a bank.What I like about this movie is that it did depict Australian life quite well, which is not surprising because it was made in Australia. Pando roving around in his Ford Escort, his flunkies wearing t-shirts and footy shorts, and basically everybody knowing everybody else was very Australian. The thing about Two-Hands is that it shows you how in a country with such a small population, everybody generally knows everybody else, yet there is little connection between the cities. Pando controls Sydney, but has little influence with what goes on in Melbourne. Also, if somebody does something, then people generally know who did it.Even though there were some comical parts to the movie, it really clashed with the rest of it. The movie really wasn't sure if it was trying to be funny, fantastic, or serious. We had the revenant of Jimmy's brother, who had been killed by Pando, running around; we had bank robbery foul-ups where the robber trips over a counter and knocks himself out cold, and we had the more serious side to it. Though it wasn't so far out that it destroyed the movie, it was enough to make us jump and wonder what we were really watching.It was still quite a good little movie. The characters were done well, and the atmosphere had a sense of realism about it. I also realised why 10 Things I Hate About You was advertised so heavily in Australia, and that is because the star of this movie, Heath Ledger, was also the star of 10 Things.

"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.

"Two Hands" is a hilarious Australian gangster movie set in really sultry Sydney. I bet tourists never envisage Sydney and Bondi to look like it did in this film: all sweaty bodies, oppressive nighttime and gangsters in nylon shorts and jandals. Heath Ledger plays an amateur boxer with an eye on becoming part of the local King's Cross boss's gang. He looked rather magnificent in his green wife beater and blue patterned budgie smuggler. A sweaty tattooed bod does become him. I always had him down as a "Home & Away" boy, and he has been in that soap, which is a little sweatier than the Weetbix-insipid "Neighbours". The film is really worth watching for its combination of sardonic humour and nasty violence - the drowning scene is expected to give me nightmares soon. Totty awards: Country girl love interest city brother and tattooed streetkid.

So I turned on the TV today at 1:00 PM on a Sunday, expecting to see crap and infomercials, and this great movie was just starting, didn't know what it was but drew me in almost immediately. The movie was excellent.there were a couple of things that didn't make sense for one I don't get why the dead guy was talking about doing stuff to get yourself out of your bad situation, but then Jimmy doesn't really do anything except the basic stuff to survive that anyone would do in his situation, in other words it wasn't his initiative that got him out of his bad situation it was just luck, second I don't get the thing about the girl killing the the gangsters at the end, because the whole thing was partly casued by the thief people stealing Panda's money, and then the other thief kills Panda at the end, so they steal his money twice, and kill him how is that good?
