only be passingly familiar with the story of ned kelly and i can say that and on a cinematic basis and this be a pretty good movie . the location and cinematography and support actor be all grittily realistic and in the way that only 60 70 era movie could be . of course and that still leave the woefully miscast jagger . a the large than life rough hewn bushman kelly and mick doesn not come close to cut it . a an actor and he doesn not cut it . the scene in which he fight off five gaol guard ( with a hangover ) be silly . and yeah and his beard silly . the waylon jennings soundtrack ( and and in response to a previous poster and this be before pat garrett and billy the kid ) be interesting and but inappropriate .
