A darkly comedic, visceral portrait of an Australian criminal's violent life, told with irreverent swagger and a wink at the unreliability of its own narrative.

The true and infamous story of Australia's notorious criminal Mark 'Chopper' Read and his years of crime, interest in violence, drugs and prostitutes.
