"Never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn."
The story of Australia's most infamous criminal, Mark 'Chopper' Read.

Chopper (2000) starring Eric Bana, Simon Lyndon, Dan Wyllie and Vince Colosimo
Directed by Andrew Dominik

I haven't found any other reactions to this movie (no idea why!) but if you enjoy crime films, this is a must watch. Bana's performance is absolutely phenomenal. As much as we all love Crocodile Dundee, I think this movie deserves more reactions!

FUN FACT (from Wikipedia)
To show the sterility of the prison and to contrast it with the world that Chopper encounters after leaving prison 16 years later, the production was split into two. The first part, filmed at the H Division of Pentridge Prison, one of the actual prisons that Chopper frequented, was as plain and sterile as could be and all the scenes in the second part, taking place in 1986, were overly coloured to achieve a paranoid and agoraphobic atmosphere called "visual overload" by the director Andrew Dominik. This was attained by lighting, choice of film stock used and colours chosen for set decoration. Part one of the production ran from 3 May until 26 May with part two continuing from 28 June until 21 July 2000. The month long break enabled Bana to put on the extra weight necessary to play the older Read.

I'm shocked it only took 6 weeks to put on that weight!

If you're still reading, please ignore this next bit - I'm just trying to get some eyeballs on this thing.
