Mud director Jeff Nichols gives bikers a Goodfellas epic that's often left spinning its wheels
Among the first things we see in The Bikeriders is Benny’s jacket. Posted up at a dusty Chicago dive bar, back to camera, Benny sips his whiskey and smokes his cigarette. Two local boys ask him to remove his colors. “You’d have to kill me to get this jacket off,” he replies. It won’t get much more complicated than that. The spirit of two-wheeled liberation thrums in every frame of The Bikeriders , pumping like gasoline through Benny’s veins.
Like Brando in The Wild One, Johnny isn’t rebelling against anything specific. He’s simply rebelling. But as the ‘60s speed along, the Vietnam War divides wild ones and easy riders, and a new type of pot-smoking, long-haired biker drives the Vandals toward violent detours that neither Johnny nor the film can navigate.
