Rating: - Weird, much like the book
Much like the book, this movie gives you a glimps into the life of Mark "Chopper" Read. I just happened across this moves years & years ago. It was weird then & it's still weird now. It's about this Aussie who went around killing/Beating drug dealers & other bullies, because he thought he was supposed to. This film is also a chance to see Eric Bana before he came to the U.S. & made it big in films like "Black Hawk Down", "Hulk", "Troy", & "the Other Boleyn Girl". It's a good black ... Read More
Rating:  - A short sharp film
This is a well-made biopic of Mark 'Chopper' Read, an extremely violent Australian criminal who has gone on to become a successful writer.

Being the debut of the filmmaker that would later go on to make the brilliant 'Assassination of Jessie James by the Coward Robert Ford', this film was a sublime thesis on the psychotically lonely. The former stand-up comedian Eric Bana makes his acting debut alongside Dominik and easily proves his ability to ... Read More
Rating: - Eric Bana 'IS' Chopper.
Before having watched this film I never really had much of an idea of who Chopper was and i was interested in seeing the film from all the little things id heard, but I have got to say I never expected to get as much out of the film as I did. Chopper is dimentionally entertaining and opened me up to this whole new world of the once psycho Mark Chopper Reid.
Andrew Dominik tells the story in a very new and interesting way, the film is very conversational and seems to highlight only the most substantial ... Read More
