movie review - Two Hands

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Sydney, 2000.09.01

Aside from a dead theme involving the main character's dead brother (who appears as some kind of ghost in a few scenes), this is a pretty straightforward Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels in sunny Australia. It's got a slick plot and a handful of worthwhile characters, and the direction is spot on.

It's a very Australian flick, and as unasuming as hell. Very worth watching.

Recommended.
