Comments A very detailed and good review. It actually touch on very small stuff of the film, for example, to even to details of minor supporting role.

This review even mention about, the sister-in-law character as ice-cool. To add on, the writer, praised 1st time director Gregor Jordan for having a marvelous eye for throwaway jokes. However, those jokes appear rather fast in the film and the audience have to catch it fast.

And my favourite part of the article is, it actually mention about the importance of women in the film. The writer consider Susie Porter as the stand-out supporting actor in it and she helps stops the film being just another blokey picture.
Synopsis One of the better reviews I come across of the film. It start of mentioning that, Two Hands have been compared to everything from Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels to Pulp Fiction, but the good news is Two Hands has a larrikin Australian flavour all of its own.

The writer, reckoned that Two Hands has a mind and style all of it's own and that's what makes it one of the most genuinely enjoyable flicks of that year.
