Review of Chopper

Chopper (2000)
9/10
Outstanding movie, all around!!!
8 January 2011
Highly stylized and violent, this has remained one of my favorite movies of all time, and is one of the few movies I'm holding onto as I continually downsize my DVD collection. Eric Bana's portrayal of Chopper is excellent, and really shows what a talented, high-caliber actor he really is. Anyone who enjoys movies about Psychopaths, Sociopaths, Killers, Criminals and the like, such as Taxi Driver, Natural Born Killers, Devil's Rejects, etc. should really be into this. The character Chopper is pretty much completely crazy but still intelligent, funny and likable. He is a criminal that really only victimizes other criminals and other "scalawags," and his behavior is generally disturbing and amusing at the same time. I saw it on a whim after seeing Bana in Blackhawk Down and this movie really put him at the top of my favorite actors list. The story is well told and the cinematography is unique and interesting. Overall, a very, very good movie. Highly recommended!
