Prison was tough enough for outlaw bikie Knuck – but that’s nothing compared to what’s waiting outside. A high-octane Aussie thriller starring Matt Nable, Ryan Corr and Abbey Lee.
You can just about smell the grease and fumes in Stephen McCallum’s punchy debut feature. Welcome to the clubhouse of outlaw bikie gang Copperheads M.C. Its hard-as-nails president, Knuck (Nable), is about to finish a three-year stretch in the slammer. In Knuck’s absence, gang member Paddo (Corr), a smart guy with a vision for the future, has been holding the reins – and making unauthorised deals. With stolen narcotics and Paddo’s ambitious girlfriend, Katrina (Lee), added in to the mix this is not going to be a peaceful return to Knuck’s old-school rule. Briskly paced, vividly photographed and very well performed, 1% feels authentic at every turn. It paints an exciting and compelling picture of those who stand apart from the other 99%.
A lean, mean, well-oiled genre machine, continuing the Australian cinematic tradition of grim, violent portrayals of toxic masculinity. – Liam Dunn, Filmink
