I am a big fan of this filmmaker Jeff Nichols. Love his very first first SHOTGUN STORIES along with MUD and MIDNIGHT SPECIAL. But I have to say I was underwhelmed with this biker film. Love Tom Hardy's work (if you haven't seen LOCKE or BRONSON, seek them out - Hardy is brilliant in both). But Hardy's character seemed underwritten as did most of the biker characters. I realize it is a large ensemble but still so many characters just came along, popped in and left as one note tropes. Obviously, the main character was Kathy and I feel this is the first time I was disappointed with a Jodie Comer performance. She is stunning in KILLING EVE. But here I felt she was SO focused on nailing the midwest Illinois accent that there was nothing left. All accent, all 70's hair and cigarettes but the vessel was empty. I just never believed her - it was ALL performance, ALL acting, nothing seemed natural. And I felt the same with Mr. Butler, all superficial but nothing beneath the surface. It's a shame because the 1960's & 1970's are fascinating decades, these bike clubs/gangs are also a very interesting part of American culture but it all just seemed rather empty. All flash, no substance.
