Gripping action and powerful performances by some of today's hottest stars come together in this epic story of a real-life outlaw who defied the law and inspired his people. Actor Heath Ledger (The Four Feathers, A Knight's Tale) brings a raw intensity to the role of Ned Kelly, an innocent man driven to fight the corrupt authorities oppressing his people. Joining Ned's legendary gang is his best friend, Joe, played with devilish charm by Orlando Bloom (Troy, Pirates of the Caribbean) and sexy Academy Award® nominee Naomi Watts (21 Grams, The Ring) as Ned's lover, Julia. Overnight, the Kelly Gang become heroes to their people. But as their popularity grows, they quickly find themselves the target of a ruthless lawman, (Geoffrey Rush) who soon makes them the most wanted men the world has ever known.

Critics Consensus: More depth about the legendary outlaw would be welcome, but as it is, Ned Kelly is a reasonably entertaining Western.

James Croot

Even Heath Ledger couldn't save this joyless, pointless movie...

The director Gregor Jordan’s approach to the material is fairly pedestrian, turning the film into heavily fictionalised Robin Hood romanticism, but Ledger’s charisma lures us in.

Herald Sun (Australia)

Leigh Paatsch

What we have here is a calculated exercise in saint-making, pandering to the Kelly legend instead of challenging it.

Heath Ledger is an attractive, rather subdued Kelly and Geoffrey Rush as his nemesis, Superintendent Hare, merely has to narrow his eyes, move with martial authority and exude menace.

Heath Ledger gives a growling performance as Kelly, while the oppressive nature of the world in which he lived is evocatively presented.
