Ned Kelly

About This Movie

So, 'Ned Kelly' from 1970, directed by Tony Richardson, really captures that gritty essence of the Australian outback. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it definitely adds to the overall tension of the story. You feel the weight of Ned's choices as he spirals deeper into this life of crime. The performances are striking, particularly from Mick Jagger, who brings a raw energy to the role. There’s this palpable sense of desperation throughout, and the practical effects—especially during the action scenes—give it a real authenticity. It’s not your run-of-the-mill western; it’s more about the human struggle than just shootouts and chases. The atmosphere is thick with the harsh realities of life, which makes it stand out in the genre.
