Author(s)Michelle Paine
Publication Date 24-07-2000
Page Number 9
Comments Xintavelonis comments on the impact of violence on audiences and Kirkwood's comment concerning the history of Australia influencing Australians perceptions of criminality are interesting.
Synopsis Paine notes the absence of prominent public figures at the low-key preview screening of Chopper.


A Palace films publicist comments Australians have a special place for the criminal psyche because of our convict past.


Reviews following the screening were favourable but ABC radio announcer, John Xintavelonis expressed concern that "a few maniacs out there ...would see it as something to emulate".
