| 2UE That Movie ShowBlake HowardIt's an all too frequent occurrence to see the phrase 'instant classic' bandied about; Chopper was appropriately adorned with that title. |
| Film ScoutsJason GorberThe script for the film is taught, telling the story quickly and with fresh and funny dialogue. |
| Dallas Morning NewsGary DowellThe fact that Chopper is so engrossing and effective stems from the powerful performance of Eric Bana. |
| Boxoffice MagazineEd ScheidThe charismatic and explosive performance of Eric Bana holds together the conventionally plotted film. |
| VarietyDavid StrattonThe director has managed the difficult feat of making a nonlinear film that contains a handful of almost unbearably suspenseful sequences, each one undercut by bizarre black humor. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezIt's Eric Bana, a popular Australian stand-up comic, who justifies our interest with a dazzling performance of blunt humor, unpredictability and an edge of menace. |
| NewsweekDevin GordonA most ambitious first film. Dominik pulls it off impressively, assisted by a selfless cast, a driving score by Mick Harvey, and gifted cameramen Kevin Hayward and Geoffrey Hall. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanNot everyone's cup of tea, but it's actually rather beautiful. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenMr. Bana's Chopper is so scarily convincing that he makes you feel the eruptive force of each mood swing and the way his character's paranoia, egomania and conscience- stricken apologies are part of a volatile emotional cycle. |
| Village VoiceJ. HobermanBana, who appears in nearly every shot, talking all the while, gives a remarkably mercurial performance. |
