Chopper

The film that launched the careers of actor Eric Bana (Munich) and director Andrew Dominik (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford) is a stylized dramatization of the life of notorious Australian criminal turned author Mark "Chopper" Read. Bana gives a riveting performance as the flashy, demented and no nonsense criminal who outsmarted the criminals as much as the cops before serving time and writing a bestseller. Writer and director Dominik finds the right style to tell of story a colorful criminal that's refreshing and original. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
