4 out of 10 Art House Scum
Tim from Cork, 20 Apr 2007
This is a film that tells main characters (Chopper) story from the point of view of reality, his reality and sometimes a witnesses reality. It's themes are comparable to low budget British films such as Scum or I.D. which also contain mindless violence but, where these films fail Chopper succeeds. Brilliant acting by Eric Bana, great lighting, directing and editing create a surreal atmosphere and develop the character into a very real person.

3.5 out of 10 Blast

What's it about....
An extraordinary movie about an extraordinary man, the highly acclaimed and award winning Chopper is the boldest and grittiest Australian film in decades. Brimming with dangerous excitement and stunning innovation, the sensational debut of rock video director Andrew Dominik is an exhilarating sharp shock to the system revealing the no-holds-barred story of the notorious Oz criminal Mark 'Chopper' Read. Told in flashback as Read serves one of his many prisons sentences,...
