Ned Kelly.

Oh dear, I'll be honest: it was pretty awful.

However it was quite pretty and I'm surprised at the lack of Orlando/Heath or Joe/Ned slash that I've seen. Maybe once it hits America.

I'd say it was worth going to see if only for the... (no serious spoilers)



... moment with the skull (and I defy any woman who wasn't already in love with Orlando to resist him at that moment).

...camel walking past the window.

All in all Orlando's accent wasn't as appalling as I'd believed from the trailer, however the beard was was wrong as I'd suspected.

Orlando's accent wasn't bad at all. Heath's was pretty dodgy, but Orli's was grand. I only noticed him slip once. It's a southern Ireland accent. Something between tipperary and Dublin. :)

Good for him! He actually sounded quite a lot like some of my Irish friends. To be honest in the trailer it was Heath that I noticed and who made me expect the worst. I was pleasantly surprised by Orlando's talent :P Not just a pretty face.

Yeah, I do think that movie showcases his talent better than a lot of the other stuff he's been in. It's such a pity it hasn't reached a broader audience. I'm really sick of the 'orli has no talent' brigade.

I agree. It would be nice to see him do some genuine character acting. I mean, I make jokes about him, but I do think he's pretty good. For a start, PJ wouldn't have cast him if he couldn't act.

He wouldn't have gotten into Guildhall if he coulds't act. And Ridley Scott would certainitly not want him for the lead in a movie as big as kingdom if he didn't have absolute faith in his acting abilities.
