Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
swurly2008 The movie is supposed to be satire. If you're complaining about how this movie isn't 'punk' it's because you're the person the movie is poking fun at. Being 'punk' is so much more than just acting a certain way, the whole point of this movie and being self aware is held in high reguards anong serious 'punks'.
Sam Morrison (skullballmovies) Skeptical was my first impression of this movie. It seemed as though it would just focus on a bunch of punks and how cool their way of life is. That's not wrong, but it's also not right. This is portrayed throughout most of the movie, but later on, Matthew Lillard's character changes and begins to think about who he is. It served as a great character development, but this is just one of the few great parts about the movie. In the ending, it was shown how talented he can be in a dramatic role. It's hard to see why he isn't in more roles like that. The comedy is lacking and that is what it was labeled under, so it was unimpressive in that factor. It had few chuckle moments. The style is also unimpressive. The pans and cuts are sometimes choppy and the story telling was sketchy at times. Most performances were up to par given the material, but there were still a few missing links. It's a nice, independent movie that can be enjoyed if the lacking parts are dismissed.
thatkarlkid I came into this movie not quite sure what to expect. I figured it would be less intense then it actually was...*SPOILER ALERT!* ...then I got to the scene in the park with Sandy. When the city behind her turns to flames all of the sudden...took me by surprise.But basically, the thing that stood out to me the most about this film was the dialogue. A lot of memorable lines in this movie, interesting things are said. Matthew Liliard did a fine job playing the main character, a law student who is an anarchist and a punk. You've got a smart kid, a really smart kid, who happens to be of rebellious nature. The film is partly narrative, with Liliard breaking the third wall and posing interesting theories and explanations for the ways of the world, thru his anarchist, punk eyes.The cinematography of the film is also interesting. Quick dissolves and interesting angles make the view and perspective very interesting, intriguing really.I give it a 9, but I could see my mind changing after watching it a few more times, and giving it a perfect 10. This movie is very much worth watching.
rtensleep-1 As one of those SLC Punks I want to say that I liked the film and Stevo even gave approval. Though the accuracy is not there and there is no mention of the SLC music which included 'The Massacre Guys' which was one of the bands Stevo was in, The film is of interest. I didn't know Bob well so I wont speak of him or how he obtained that moniker though the movie does tell of the myth. Stevo (Now known as Stephan Egerton) did not become a lawyer. In fact, after his good friend and Massacre Guy Karl Alverez. he joined the band 'All' and later they reverted back to the original 'Decedents' after Milo returned. Sean (Fightmaster)(You can find him on line) Did not become a bum as I knew him since he was 14. The acid in the sprinklers portion is up for debate though Sean at times of lucidity claimed that it never happened. Sean died of a heroin overdose two years ago and is greatly missed. Just a note from someone that was there...Though it's fuzzy now!
