i watch this on the movie with my girlfriend at the time and i can say that i do not have the best time mainly because i do not know about ned kelly or his story . but since this be a biopic and it important to at least know what to expect from the character . i do not know if the manner the event be tell be true and or if it everything be fictional . but the way ned kelly be portray a a hero and a fighter for justice really make me want to believe everything be true . i do not think he portray a a redneck criminal or thief and but that just my opinion . this be a solid western type movie for everybody taste . heath ledger be great a always and the sexy naomi watt charm the screen . give this movie a chance if it air on cable . otherwise and i do not think i could recommend it .
