i be sure that not many people outside of australia have ever hear of the legend of ned kelly . i once saw a documentary about the man and but that the only time i once saw or hear anything about him . and i guess that this might be the big problem this movie will have to face . no one know anything about it and probably not many people will care about the subject . the movie tell the story of ned kelly life . the irish immigrant have live in north west victoria all his life and but have never be very welcome by the authority . the police always accuse him of everything they can think of and they keep harass his family . when kelly be feed up with the way everything go and he form a gang with his brother and two other men . they start rob bank and even hijack an entire town for 3 day . all this violence lead to a man hunt organize by the police and when they kill three policeman and they be outlaw . finally they take over a pub in glenrowan and where they have a party with all the visitor and wait for a train full of police to derail at a part of the track that they tear up . but the train be able to stop in time because someone warn them and what will follow be a battle on life and death between the police and the four gunman . it very hard to tell whether all of what be show in the movie be true or false . i guess nobody really know and because there will always be two camp who will each tell their own truth represent one camp say he be a hero and some kind of robin hood and the others will say he be an ordinary criminal and a murderer and a thief . i really couldn not tell you which of them be right and perhaps both be and but what i can tell you be that the fact in the movie as well a be the documentary be about the same . this movie be a nice addition to the documentary i once saw and i really enjoy the performance of all the actor . heath ledger and orlando bloom and naomi watt and geoffrey rush be all actor who be pretty well know and but even the less known actor show in this production that they all know what good acting should look like . i really enjoy this movie and i give it a 7 . 5/10 .
