I heard for years how great this movie is, how it's one of the best skinhead movies ever, blah blah blah.
Finally saw it today. Don't really see what's that great about it.

tim roth is absolutely great in it. i've always felt it suffered from some editing problems and it should be longer. he definately carries the movie

Still haven't seen it, but I've noticed that most of the skinhead-related books, movies, etc tend to come with really low expectations, so it's not
hard to go above and beyond expectations. Hell, most of us just seem happy and impressed when there's a skinhead that's not a nazi.
And even if it's not so great, it may very well be one of the best skinhead movies ever. American History X was pretty weak. Romper Stomper is
notable only for Russell Crowe and that song that's been covered a bunch of times. Nobody ever talks about The Believer, which was actually a decent
movie. What else is there? I've heard some arguments about Clockwork Orange being influenced by skinheads (most the outfits and "aggro", which is a
term I find retarded). Some crappy documentaries like the HBO one with Bill Riccio, or Blood in the Face (which is one of the early movies Michael
Moore worked on... you can notice him interviewing some old fucking racists in one scene).
