Two Hands

Nineteen-year-old Jimmy is a former street kid and rowdy. He works as a doorman in a striptease joint in Sydney and gets a big opportunity to work for the district gangsters. He meets his dream girl on way to his first assignment which is to deliver a large sum of money. He is unlucky and gets robbed. The gangsters think, of course, that Jimmy tried to con them and a pursuit of life and death starts. Our hero gets away this time by the skin of his teeth but is soon drawn into a bank robbery. Gregor Jordan declares his love for gangster films like The Godfather and Good Fellas and horror films like Return of the Living Dead. His fad for that last film especially has clearly left its imprint in Two Hands. Incidentally, with its supernatural features there is a lot to make this criminal/action film to a teenage film. The men have shorts and vests, muscles, tattoos and ice hockey hairstyles and the heroine would have been just right in any jeans commercial. The settings are sometimes like those in comics and the light is in pastel tones like in a commercial. But it is actually quite fun!
