Focus on Read, but no mention of Bana. Overall reviewer appears more interested in the depiction of the underworld and understanding who Mark Brandon Read is rather than 'Chopper' the film. Includes some potentially useful facts about the Melbourne underworld of the 70's and 80's.

| Synopsis |
Reviewer Tennison was a senior crime reporter during the 1970's and 1980's and praises Dominik for his accurate portrayal of the Melbourne underworld scene deducing the climate of this period was condusive to Chopper's operation as a standover man.
Commends the film as a great insight into the dynamics at work in the city's underbelly and praises Dominik for capturing the ultimate enigma of Chopper - that is whenever you find yourself beginning to sympathise with him, he does something which totally repulses you. |
