    Fabulous movie, Heath Ledger played an amazing role, and it brought out the sorrow and struggle.

    I thought this was a great movie. Heath Ledger did an awesome job, and fit the real portrayal of Ned Kelly. The movie had a great polt, to tell the real story of Ned Kelly and the kind of person that he really was. The tormented life that the Kelly's lived, thanks to the Victorian Police. I thought the movie was well constructed, Jordan did a fabulous job. I think Heath Ledger did an extremely well acting job and he gets two thumbs up! Expand

    Expertly combining the personal and the epic, Jordan has crafted an excellent historical saga that doesn't collapse under the weight of too much history.

    An impressively staged, dark-toned revisiting of the life and times of Australia's boldest and most charismatic outlaw.
