The story of Australia's infamous 1870's Robon Hood type criminal has been filmed several times, most recently in 2003. This latest version gives a sympathetic view of Ned and his band and ends with a climactic gun battle with Aussie authorities (with Ned and the boys in home made armor). Along the way he has a periodic unlikely affair with an upper class lady, a beauty, she. This one held my interest although I'm hard pressed to say why. Available on an anamorphich wide screen DVD with an optional DTS sound track. Reminded me a bit of Bonnie and Clyde.
Follow Ups:
Wasn't there an early 70's version of this with Mick Jagger as the lead?
Hi, yes there was a version in the 70's with ole Big Lips. Interestingly, a Ned Kelly movie was the very first movie ever made here in Oz. There's something about Kelly that captures our imagination and even reflects the Australian spirit (maybe not the part about killing cops!). He's like our version of Robin Hood or Billy the Kid.The 2003 remake was IMHO terrible. It suffered from severe "Hollywood-itis" - predictable plot, evil government, over the top violence, etc, etc. Kelly didn't kill that many cops in real life. Cheers. Doug
