    Washington Post | Michael O'Sullivan

    Not everyone's cup of tea, but it's actually rather beautiful. Read full review

    Los Angeles Times | Kevin Thomas

    A most ambitious first film. Dominik pulls it off impressively, assisted by a selfless cast, a driving score by Mick Harvey, and gifted cameramen Kevin Hayward and Geoffrey Hall. Read full review

    The New York Times | Stephen Holden

    Mr. Bana's Chopper is so scarily convincing that he makes you feel the eruptive force of each mood swing and the way his character's paranoia, egomania and conscience- stricken apologies are part of a volatile emotional cycle. Read full review

    San Francisco Chronicle | Edward Guthmann

    It's Eric Bana, a popular Australian stand-up comic, who justifies our interest with a dazzling performance of blunt humor, unpredictability and an edge of menace. Read full review

    Washington Post | Stephen Hunter

    It's a great style, it's a fabulous performance, but it never quite finds what it's searching for. Read full review

    Entertainment Weekly | Owen Gleiberman

    A movie overtly designed to win attention (and not to do much else). Read full review
