Second Sight Films To Give ‘Chopper’ Limited Blu-ray Release

Every nation has a infamous figure, matter of fact Australia has several. Next month Second Sight Films will give Chopper the trademark Limited edition Blu-ray release.

Eric Bana stars as the eponymous Chopper, Australia’s most notorious and celebrated criminal figure. This brutally gripping true-crime feature received critical acclaim on its original release in 2000, and Andrew Dominik’s directorial debut

Last year Vertigo Releasing brought the film back to UK cinemas, Second Sight Films this year will expand your Blu-ray collection!

Dominik’s (Blonde, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford) shocking and darkly entertaining film takes us into the violent world of Australia’s most infamous figure – Mark ‘Chopper’ Read – who conquered Victoria’s brutal underworld single-handedly, in a film based on his memoirs.

Bana (Black Hawk Down, Hulk, Troy) shows his acting chops in this seminal, career defining role of bonafide villain Chopper, and he brings the outrageous true story to the screen with maximum force. The brutality and nonchalance of the life and crimes of the one-man mafia, who takes on anyone who gets in his way, plays out unflinchingly on screen and is definitely not for the faint-hearted.
