Über diesen Film

Gripping action and powerful performances by some of today's hottest stars come together in this epic story of a real-life outlaw who defied the law and inspired his people. Actor Heath Ledger (The Four Feathers, A Knight's Tale) brings a raw intensity to the role of Ned Kelly, an innocent man driven to fight the corrupt authorities oppressing his people. Joining Ned's legendary gang is his best friend, Joe, played with devilish charm by Orlando Bloom (Troy, Pirates of the Caribbean) and sexy Academy Award Nominee Naomi Watts (21 Grams, The Ring) as Ned's lover, Julia. Overnight, the Kelly Gang become heroes to their people. But as their popularity grows, they quickly find themselves the target of a ruthless lawman, (Geoffrey Rush) who soon makes them the most wanted men the world has ever known.

Bewertungen und Rezensionen

Kelly looks nightmarish in the final Glenrowan stand (as he should) but the rest of the film is supported by thinly drawn peripheral characters, and an overbearing score that suggests there to be more drama than is actually present.

Nobody has EVER made an authentic and brilliant Ned Kelly movie yet. Maybe one day, before I die.

Awesome movie.
