The Bikeriders seuraa keskilännessä syntyneen moottoripyöräkerho the Vandalsin nousua. Kerhon jäsenten näkökulmasta kerrottu tarina seuraa kuinka kerho vuosikymmenen kuluessa kehittyy paikallisten ulkopuolisten kokoontumispaikasta synkemmäksi rikollisjengiksi, joka uhkaa alkuperäisten jäsenien uniikkia elämäntapaa.

I don’t share the harsh criticism here—I was hooked every minute, and there’s so much more than just solid craft on display. To me, this film is a distinctively bold snapshot capturing the leap and shock that American society went through from the wild 60s into the subdued 70s. It explores the precarious line between experiencing freedom and inflicting violence, between belonging to a tribe versus isolation or submission to an organized, anonymous machine—whether that machine is the state or a large gang. It’s about the rapid loss of the ideals of free love, unity, lightness, and freedom—the fading of the American Dream. In the backdrop, you feel the weight of Vietnam, trauma, hard drugs, guns, social divides, broken families, disillusionment, street life, desensitization, the competitive race for success, and the systemic tightening that affected rebellion itself (from clubs to gangs), stripping away the romance and downgrading the once-rebellious spirit. This film succeeds not only in its content but also in form: strong performances, stunning visuals, an impeccably chosen soundtrack, and even its strategic silences. You feel immersed, first in the roaring engines and blasting music, then drawn into the quiet breaths, the crunch of gravel, and the growing quiet. The framing with the photographer and Kathy, two outside observers, culminating in that knowing smile they exchange, adds another layer. Freedom, in the end, lies in understanding and accepting the inevitable—and realizing that true rebellion can take many forms, some almost invisible. ()
A praiseworthy work that dusts of the good old motorcycling setting and has a good time building a story and characters. With superbly cast actors who do excellent work. The fragile Jodie Comer among tough guys who don’t belong anywhere, so they belong to themselves. Tom Hardy’s growling and stares have never been more expressive and the rebellious heart-throb Austin Butler gives the film the spirit of the most iconic version of cinematic America (James Dean). The Bikeriders is an enjoyable old-school flick for fans of ensemble acting. It doesn’t need a sophisticated plot to be entertaining with every scene and it keeps its outcome unpredictable all the way to the end. Probably the film’s coolest and most original scene, romantic and macho at the same time, is Butler’s seduction of Jodie Comer in front of her house. ()
A quality film, but not made for me, thematically and emotionally it missed me completely - and if I hadn't been at the cinema , I probably wouldn't have made it to the end. I can't tune in to see the characters as at least partially sympathetic libertarian rebels. To me, they all came off as irresponsible buffoons from the start. ()
The Bikeriders rides the wave of nostalgia. The cast is definitely trendy, but the story feels like filler between Danny Lyon's photos. It's not really important that the inspiration from The Wild One seemed somewhat archaic even in the sixties. What matters is that the tradition of Easy Rider continues. ()
Pretty weak. Ironically, it's where the film should have started. Because it's not until the last 10 minutes that we find out that the gang is in full swing (prostitutes, drugs, murders), so what we wanted to see will be in the sequel, which won't come. So if it wasn't for the guy gangster shit, I was hoping to at least enjoy the bikes, but NOPE, even those are scarce here. Mainly, it deals with relationships. Tom Hardy and Austin Butler were good, but apart from one burnt down pub and an “almost” rape, nothing interesting happened for two hours, and after the promising trailer, I see that as underwhelming. I didn't completely suffer, but then I'm not happy with the outcome either. At least the cameos of more familiar faces will be nice. 5/10. ()
