One of Ledgers earliest, and IMO finest.

Despite the subject matter, a cute, quirky film. Haha the bank heist was a riot!

Sexy and funny film, that marks the starring debut of Ledger. I really enjoyed the use of music. Story is something I feel I have seen before, but the dark humor makes it interesting and remember-able. Bank heist scene is hysterical!

It's a quirky 80s action comedy starring Ledger playing Keanu Reeves made in 99. Also it's not funny.

I think the film was meant to be a comedy, but I'm not sure what was meant to be funny about it. The story was interesting, but the characters were boring and annoying (Rose Byrne's forced laughter got on my nerves after about 2 seconds and I wanted to punch her), the acting was pretty bad and there was no tension or atmosphere at all. The bank scene was amusing actually, but that was really the only enjoyable moment of the film. And the zombie guy who kept talking to the camera was so stupid.

I don't kno what this film is. As a comedy, it's a failure, as a crime film, it's passable. The bank robbery alone is worth the watch.

Two Hands is a slick, efficient "job gone wrong" movie that contains more than a couple of genuine surprises. It has good actors who turn in decent performances, a short enough running time so that its proceedings never start to get dull, and a slightly offbeat sense which lends itself to a few great scenes of comedy. All in all, it's a success. I can't think of many reasons not to watch it, and it entertained me thoroughly from start to finish. If you like offbeat crime films, you'll like it.

Quite a fun gangster film, featuring some particularly great and rather Australian performances from Ledger, Brown, and Field, and the humour is often very welcome, with a couple of moments being ingeniously amusing. On the other hand, it just doesn't all come together -- the dead brother initially seemed like a great idea, but where did that go? I'm also not huge on the homeless kids B-story. After all this, the ending sucks, but it's still a pretty good ride

A really fun little film with a lot of charm thanks to the performances of Ledger and Byrne. There's the odd chuckle or two along the way, which keeps things ticking along. And even if the story itself is a bit weak in places it leaves you feeling entertained, so it's a job well done in my books.

Man,1999 the year that keeps giving. Had never heard of this and gave it a shot. Pretty solid crime flick,nothing amazing or anything but right from the start Ledger had an incredible amount of charm and charisma...

Few films capture late '90s Australia as pleasingly as 'Two Hands'. The Powderfinger-infused soundtrack in combination with the performances of Ledger, Byrne and Brown (not to mention Kings Cross) really brings to life a simple yet powerful set of parallel and convergent stories. The Aussie humour lends itself well to the moments of extreme violence and loss. One of the most satisfying revenge killings in cinema.
