Sinossi
Viscerale e ricco di energia, Chopper si ispira ai romanzi di Mark Brandon 'Chopper' Read, il più noto ed efferato killer australiano. Attraverso lo stesso mix di sangue, violenza, commedia e suspence che hanno caratterizzato pellicole come Pulp Fiction e Lock & Stock, il regista e sceneggiatore Andrew Dominik racconta, prendendo spunto dai verbali della polizia, dalle trascrizioni giudiziarie e dai racconti dei compagni di cella, la vita di Read con la stessa violenza che l'ha sempre contraddistinta. Un viaggio nell’assurdo per raccontare uno dei criminali più famosi di tutti i tempi.
