A super cool movie! In 1999, Two Hands was released in Australia on July 29. An “Australian gangster comedy” (as Heath describes it). Heath plays Jimmy, a hot, tender and simple guy mixed up with the Sydney mafia. Heath describes Jimmy as “a young guy that … is growing up all his life in The Cross. His mum maybe was a prostitute … his father is dead maybe … basically he is in a world where he believes that this is his only path in life … he meets a lovely young lady, Alex, and she opens his eyes and let’s him see that there’s another light at the end of the tunnel"]. Two Hands, a film “alla Tarantino” and, for some moments, “alla Jim Jarmusch”, was the first movie filmed and based on Kings Cross (Sydney’s red-light district): “It’s something that we haven’t really seen in Australia … the gangster side of Sydney … we see it on the Godfather, we see them driving around in their Rolls-Royces, but we don’t see the Australian godfathers in their stubby shorts and singlets[6] drinking VBs". The film is funny, strong and cool (with the exception of the “zombie scenes”, which I didn’t like at all), and the director (Gregor Jordan) and cast surrounding Heath (Bryan Brown, David Field and Rose Byrne) are amazing. Heath got a Best Actor in a Leading Role nomination in the Australian Film Institute for portraying Jimmy.
