Ned Kelly
- Rating:
- Director: Gregor Jordan
- Starring: Heath Ledger
- Details: US / 104 mins / (15PG).
Gritty biopic of Australia's version of Robin Hood, which errs only in suggesting that Kelly was something of a prescient political idealist. Otherwise, the script and story are strong, and an excellent supporting cast do justice to Heath Ledger's chisel-jawed star turn.
