Die Letzte FilmkritikThe Bikeriders - Erblasst vor seinem eigenen FotobuchTom Hardy und Austin Butler scheinen ihre Performances in The Bikeriders an ikonische Rollen von Marlon Brando und James Dean angelehnt zu haben. Offensichtlich immer mit dem Bewusstsein, jetzt ja auch ganz ikonisch rüberkommen zu müssen und in Lederjacken auf Motorrädern natürlich immer cool auszusehen. Obwohl der Vergleich mit The Wild One hier sogar Teil der Handlung ist, schafft es Jeff Nichols’ Film nie, das Flair der Zeit, die faszinierende Ästhetik der Bilder und die authentische Perspektive jenes Fotobuchs von Danny Lyon einzufangen, von dem er sein Drehbuch adaptiert hat.2024-06-2230 min
