With arguably one of the most apt tag lines in film and unarguably Eric Bana's best performance director Andrew Dominik, who went on to make such crap as Killing them Softly and The Assassination of Jesse James, hits his peak early on with the story of Mark 'Chopper' Read, one of Australia's most notorious criminals.
Taken from the eponymous anti-hero's book, From the Inside, we learn about Marks relationship with his friends and family, watch as he spends time in, out and in in in jail (sometimes with ears but mainly without), and find out a little about some of the ridiculous antics that put and kept him there.
This romp of a bio-pic is hugely funny and, if at all true, vaguely terrifying. Eric Bana has his moment in the sun and it's a damn shame he hasn't come anywhere close to such quality since but you are the parts you take and the parts he takes are generally shite.
Really watchable, really fun, a literal riot of a move.
