Storyline
After getting threatened by Kelly's friends and family, Constable Fitzpatrick places the blame on Ned Kelly and exaggerates what happened.

Even if it means having his family arrested, the members of the Kelly Gang stay hidden and plan a way to get their names cleared.

The Hollywood Reporter
Expertly combining the personal and the epic, Jordan has crafted an excellent historical saga that doesn't collapse under the weight of too much history.

Variety
An impressively staged, dark-toned revisiting of the life and times of Australia's boldest and most charismatic outlaw.

Film Threat
It’s an exciting movie filled with plenty of action, adventure, beautiful cinematography and best of all, terrific performances.
70
Village Voice
The film marks a welcome departure from the usual rah-rah machismo of the semi-nationalist action adventure, but Jordan never escapes the mighty shadow of "The Thin Red Line"--from the grace-note inserts of exotic birds, snakes, and foliage to Ledger's laconic, sometimes haiku-like voice-over to Klaus Badelt's embarrassingly Zimmer-derivative score.

Dallas Observer
Despite the idealized portrait of Kelly and the very predictable plot, the film proves engaging, thanks in large measure to Ledger's sympathetic and believable performance.
