Review of Ned Kelly (2003) by Huw G — 19 Dec 2015
A clumsy, turgid, wooden, melodramatic, and bizarrely displaced daytime-TV quality western, with a bit of straight-to-DVD standard of potboiler thrown in just for good measure. No attempt to explore or unravel the myth, and nor does it even try to turn him into a Hollywood hero.
Hilariously it avoids the cliche of being a destination-Australia tourism advert by using epic quantities of unlikely mud, rain and sunless skies. An utterly inexplicable train crash.
