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.

Rated: 2.5/5

This is a slice of American life film that has great performances by all our leads, and strong themes of comradery, love, and legacy, all told beautifully by Jodie Comer’s character.

It starts out strong, with some of the most exciting segments of Nichols’ career yet it loses steam as it crawls towards a long, slow finish.

The Indiependent

The Bikeriders is a powerful film with a fascinating story, one that most of the audience won’t most likely be familiar with, and beautiful cinematography that is very close to the real-life pictures.

Rated: 3/5

Expected more from this movie. Don't know why, but I did. Pretty boring and ultimately pointless. Liked some of the characters and performances, but felt like this movie had no real idea what it was trying to do.

Worst movie I have seen in a while. There is no soundtrack for most of the movie so it’s a super awkward watch, and Tom Hardy way overacted the role, which made the cheesy “trying to be hard core” dialogue even worse.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Trevor

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.
