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.

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.

5/5

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

4/5

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.

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

Nichols's film boasts a restrained visual treatment and a measured performance from Austin Butler, but I get the feeling that it barely scratches the surface of its characters in its tale of the golden age of wild bikers. [Full review in Spanish]

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 ultimate hang movie. My uncle was a biker back in those days and he said this is actually quite accurate in how the clubs changed to gangs.

Austin Butler was excellent. I was curious to see him in a role different from ELVIS, which he was awesome.

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.
