Chopper (2000)

£0.00


Country: AUS
Technical: col 94m
Director: Andrew Dominik
Cast: Eric Bana, Simon Lyndon, David Field, Dan Wyllie, Bill Young

Synopsis:

From hellbent loose cannon behind bars to criminal celebrity at large, this is one account of the career of (controversially) bestselling author Mark Brandon Read, aka 'Chopper'.

Review:

From metallic blues in the prison scenes to garish reds in civvy street, and with plentiful up-close, reportage style shots of the leading performer's infamously charismatic patter, this is a modern gangster story with a difference. Moreover, little is shown of the villain's day to day criminal activity or of the motivation for his offbeat philosophy and reckless behaviour. Instead we have an ironic exploitation of gangster movie tropes and a mesmeric central performance.
