The Bikeriders

Fun accents, cool bikes, and a stacked (and sexy) cast – The Bikeriders has it all.

Chicago,1965. Like a moth to a flame, Kathy is drawn to the new-in-town Benny, the latest addition to local kingpin Johnny’s motorcycle club (the latter played by a magnetic Tom Hardy.) But soon after a whirlwind marriage, all hell breaks loose. With fist-fights, knife-fights, bar-fights galore,The Bikeriders can hardly be called peaceful, and we witness the characters wrangle and wrestle round the clock in brutal tests of loyalty and love. With Norman Reedus featuring as his – self-proclaimed – most unappealing character yet (“I’m going as ugly as possible”), and Austin Butler’s sheer presence in the trailer alone enough to sell out screenings (really, watch it), The Bikeriders is brazen from the get-go. Full of dynamic characters – cold and hot-blooded, hot and cold-blooded – you won’t be able to keep your eyes off the screen.
