Don't make him angry...
By Allan4syth from Norfolk , 13 Feb 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
Andrew Dominik's film of the eponymous Australian mobster is a real experience. Eric Bana's performance is so realistic that you cannot help to be disturbed by the violence, which peppers the film liberally.
The scene where he's stabbed by a fellow inmate (and friend) is utterly chilling and genuinely scary. When he later turns up unannounced at said friend's house, you could be forgiven for hidding behind the sofa.
Like so many memorable villains you will find yourself strangely drawn to Chopper and almost be rooting for him. Bana's performance is larely responsible for this and just remember, don't make him angry; you won't like him when he's angry...- Was this review helpful to you?

chop it from your wishlist
By DaveTunstall (18 reviews) , 12 Jan 2013I was hoping for more substance to this film. There was plenty of gore and edge but I still wasn't that interested probably due the writing.- Was this review helpful to you?

Chopper tastic
By mattydread (1 review) , 04 Jan 2013i have watched this for the first time today and can't believe i have missed this until now. Don't be put off by the fact its a dated Australian movie as it stands the test of time extremely well and is up there with many indie classics. Utterly chilling in parts and laugh out loud in others. Eric Bana and his sharp comedic tongue is ideal in this role and gives the character the charisma you need to for an anti-hero. A must see if you like crime based graphic films.- Was this review helpful to you?

Chopper would kill the film makers for that
By DanEng1982 (1 review) , 01 Jan 2013Yes, this guy did some violent things in his life. Unfortunately they managed it to make this movie kind of like a porn. But there's actually a story behind it which is really fascinating. My advice is to read his book: Mark 'Chopper' Read: Road to Nowhere (2011)- Was this review helpful to you?
