Critic Reviews
Hilariously unhinged, but also desperate and confused.
An impressionistic portrait of the seductive nature of evil.
Its dabs of dark comedy and stabs of gore, still rings with a sense of the real. It's electric-charged.
Too quick to uncritically and unthinkingly accept its subject's rollickingly self-mythologizing take on himself.
Pulls no punches - blood flows very freely (including the ear-cutting scene) and black humor abounds.
There's an awful lot of kinetic energy to Chopper, and the violence is portrayed as graphically as imaginable.
A point is being made about how a criminal creates his own myth, but the ways Read twists and embellishes the truth become progressively less interesting.
This fictionalized, frequently stomach-churning biography of Australian criminal Mark Chopper Read features the most bloody ear-severing scene since "Reservoir Dogs."
