Sort of
based on the real life writings of Mark "Chopper" Read, an Aussie
with a penchant for violence who finds himself back in prison almost
as soon as he is released, whether deserved or not. Through his
outlandish behavior and violent incidents, Chopper finds his way to
become one of Australia's most famous criminals.
Eric Bana
delivers a terrific performance as Chopper, and much of the film's
success comes from the heavy doses of very black humor from
first-time writer-director Dominik. Definitely not to every taste, as
the film's unflinching violence and offbeat style will turn off many
a viewer. For those who can stomach it, an at times witty satire can
be found during the running length of CHOPPER, and while the film's
plotting is convoluted, Bana and Dominik deliver some worthwhile
entertainment.
