Film: Two Hands

[His Name Is Frank]

A 19 year old (Heath Ledger) finds himself in debt to a local gangster (Bryan Brown) when some gang loot disappears and sets him on the run from thugs. Meanwhile two street kids start a shopping spree when they find the missing money. Rose Byrne co-stars as a country girl, who Ledger starts a romance on his trip.

I watched this last night on YouTube after seeing a mention of it in The Dark Knight thread. Having no idea what it was about, I didn't know what to expect. Damn good movie is what I got.

It was a very nice mix of drama and humor. Very similar in style to Snatch and Pulp Fiction. Heath Ledger does a damn fine job as Jimmy. Almost heartbreaking watching it in the wake of his death. Definitely a 3 1/2 star film for me. Now I have to find the DVD. For some reason, the one loaded on YouTube was bloody censored as bloody hell.

Very good film this.

Watched it when it came out here in Oz.

I'd really recommend it to pretty much anyone, but especially to anyone interested in Heath's early work.
