After recently reading the reviews of The Island & subsequently viewing it. The comments posted here about the white levels during the beginning brought this movie to mind. The intro in this one was almost painful with the lighting technique used in the prison cells. I saw this at a theater in Sydney during the Olympics & enjoyed it tremendously. I don't know if it's so much a film adaptation of Mark Brandon 'Chopper' Read's autobiography, or more of a black comedy. But Australia's most notorious hit man make's for a good flick. If you enjoyed Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels & The Boondock Saints, it's in that vein of violence/humor. I wanted to view this on my pj, but unfortunately none of the area video rentals have it. I guess I'll have to buy it as I'm a sucker for indies like this, & House of Cards, & The Beast (the Afganistan/Russian tank movie)
Plot Summary:
Chopper tells the intense story of Mark "Chopper" Read, a legendary criminal who wrote his autobiography while serving a murder sentence in prison. His book, From the Inside, upon which the film is based, was a best-seller.
Tag Line: Never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn. :W
