Our take
The Bikeriders follows a Midwestern club as it turns from riding into real harm. Expect constant f-word language, assaults, beer and wine, half-naked talk, and suicide named out loud. Older teens and adults
Story (may spoil tone)
After a chance encounter, headstrong Kathy is drawn to Benny, member of Midwestern motorcycle club the Vandals. As the club transforms into a dangerous underworld of violence, Benny must choose between Kathy and his loyalty to the club.

Talk after watching
- The club starts as belonging. When does it become a trap?
- Kathy keeps watching. What would you have wanted her to do?
- Suicide is named. Did that feel like a warning or a shrug?
