Chopper
Standover man, unrepentant underworld executioner, inventive raconteur, and Australia's most infamous living criminal, whose deadpan wit and colourful imagination has accorded him a cult status and the title of best-selling author. The movie is a sometimes dramatic, at other times darkly funny journey into the exploits and complex pathology of Mark Brandon 'Chopper' Read who, it must be said, never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn.
