Pros |
The acting in this movie is outstanding; this is the most intense role I've ever seen Crowe perform and McKenzie is much more than just cute. This movie doesn't portray the skinheads in a positive light but does show them as being human; albeit greatly misguided. If you want a little skin, Crowe and McKenzie leave little to the imagination. And, last but not least, the video quality for this film was greatly enhanced from it's earlier release. |
Cons |
Due to the subject matter this is obviously not a children's film; violence, language and nudity. The interviews with the director and cast on the second disc are informative but for some reason, I'm guessing copyright, all you see are the responses from the director/cast; the questions are posed on the screen prior to their answers. Having some interaction between the two parties would have been nice. |

Recommendation |
This is one of the more interesting films I've watched in awhile. It doesn't glorify the skinhead movement by any means but it does show that they are human and gives some ideas why they chose this path. If you have problems with accents you might want to turn on the subtitles. |
