The Bikeriders

By December this film will be standing as one of the best films of this year, if not the best.

This is how movies were meant to be made.

You can smell the cigarette smoke billowing as the daylight cracks through of some Midwestern America pool hall.

Swigging Old Grand Dad, and bottles of Black Label.

And cigarette after cigarette after glorious cigarette.

The year is 1966, the place is Chicago, Illinois and men in America ride American made motorcycles that growl.

They don't whine.

Not the men nor the motorcycles.

This movie is about the creation of a motorbike club.

But it's also about a man's identity and who you are as a man and what makes the most importance to you as a man.

It's about a woman loving a man but how much can she love him and to what ends.

It's also about creating something great, but that creation getting a life of its own to where it becomes unrecognizable.

The Vandals of Chicago, from the mid-1960's to the early 1970's.

You will see this all. You will ride with them as one of their own.

You will hear it too.

A fantastic soundtrack to hopefully be released on vinyl to go with all this leather: Gary U. S. Bonds, Bo Diddley, The Stooges, etc.

Tom Hardy (Johnny), Austin Butler (Benny) and Jodie Comer (Kathy).

Three of the most solid performances you'll see this year.

This isn't Sons of Anarchy.

It's much better than that.
