    I was disappointed by this movie. As one reviewer put it, it seemed to be "much ado about nothing." 'Course, it would help if I could understand what the characters were saying which isn't easy since most are speaking in a thick Australian accent.

  1. 60
    This fictionalized, frequently stomach-churning biography of Australian criminal Mark Chopper Read features the most bloody ear-severing scene since "Reservoir Dogs."
  2. 75
    An impressionistic portrait of the seductive nature of evil.
  3. Its dabs of dark comedy and stabs of gore, still rings with a sense of the real. It's electric-charged.
