Ultimately, Jordan's vision is so murky that Ned Kelly remains as foreign to us as wombat stew.

If Ned Kelly is supposed to be an anti-hero to root for, his speeches border on parody and his cause is really unclear.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
Offers a couple of well-filmed showdowns and lots of pretty landscapes, but you need more than scenic views and stylish action to chronicle a life, especially one as controversial as Kelly's.
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger
Rotten
A leaden retelling of the legend of Australia's Jesse James that has understandably been sitting on the shelf for a couple of years.
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Rotten
A handsome, action-packed biographical drama with a credibility gap wider than the screen.
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News
