THE BIKERIDERS captures a rebellious time in America when the culture and people were changing. After a chance encounter at a local bar, strong-willed Kathy (Jodie Comer) is inextricably drawn to Benny (Austin Butler), the newest member of Midwestern motorcycle club, the Vandals led by the enigmatic Johnny (Tom Hardy). Much like the country around it, the club begins to evolve, transforming from a gathering place for local outsiders into a dangerous underworld of violence, forcing Benny to choose between Kathy and his loyalty to the club.

Fueled by a charismatic cast and the gritty authenticity of writer-director Jeff Nichols' approach, The Bikeriders offers a conventional yet impactful look at motorcycle culture.

Audience Says

The Bikeriders may not be fast-paced or twisty but as a coffee-table movie illustrating Chicago in the ‘60s, it delivers stunning visuals and memorable performances that may rev some heartstrings.

Nichols shows us that even when it all goes sour, the excitement of this ridiculous and aggressive world is catnip to the born outsider.

Rated: 5/5

Irish Times

Most contemporary westerns end up mourning a vanished era of compromised freedom. The Bikeriders doesn’t quite believe in that myth, but it still finds time to dampen a handkerchief as its shadow recedes. A flawed, fascinating film.

Rated: 4/5

It’s the other elements – plot, storytelling, script, emotional connections, engaging the viewer – that fall off the bike.

There’s a rare quality within Jeff Nichols films that cinema has desperately yearned for.

Primary to Jeff Nichols's brilliant five-act film is the female perspective of its protagonist Kathy. Jodie Comer gives an Oscar-worthy performance that defies all expectation.

Rated: FIVE STARS

Butler's Cinema Scene

Yeah, there’s some pleasure to be had from the period music and costuming. But if you can’t care about the characters, what’s the point?

Benny is one of the most boring characters on screen. The goodfellas attempt felt very forced and unoriginal. Tom hardy was the only upside, interesting character throughout the entire story. I would give this movie a solid 2/5 and would not recommend to many people.

This movie was fantastic! Acting was fantastic, the storyline held my attention the whole time, and the direction was top notch. I'm not a fan of motorcycles and I still loved it. Highly recommended!

I love Tom Hardy...he is an amazing actor. The story came right from the book. The accents and way of dress was on point. The actors studied tapes and pictures and brought it to the big screen. I have seen it 3 times already!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
