    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Brilliant, searing social-realist drama from Alan Clarke, one of the best British directors who ever lived.

    Tim Roth puts in a remarkable performance as the disillusioned skinhead who finds himself passed from pillar to post in the British correctional system. No easy answers are offered, no loose ends are tied up, and the film begins as quickly and brutally as it starts.

    This is classic British cinema, that truly stands with the best work of world cinema.

    Tim roth is not ACE in this film, am a massive of his anyway & love 'lie to me'. Just shows how bad the 70's & 80's were to grow up in. Although I grew in them I wasn't old enough to kinda really know what was going on.

    Such a powerful film, must buy this!!

  • Made in the 80s!

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By russio (158 reviews) from Harlow , 22 Jan 2012
    At times very powerful, at others extremely dated. Carried by Roth's bold performance, capturing all the arrogant nihilism of youth, the stand out scene comes much later as policemen confront him with the consequences of his behaviour. The wll-meaning left mocked and the hardcore right shown as fearful. Fierce, yet stagey and overcooked.

  • Loved it.......

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By Steve Hatton from Cornwall, England , 17 Dec 2011
    Fantastic indictment on the seventies, and the social problems encountered at that time. The fact that this is a fact-based tale only adds to the enjoyment. Gritty and worryingly raw, this is well worth a watch.

  • A proper window into 80's Britain.

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By a customer , 17 Aug 2011
    Ho Ho all these youngsters going all 80's retro really should watch this film to see what 80's Britain really was like. It pulled no punches and I loved it for this reason. Again I really can't stand all this modern day Politically Correct nonsense and there's absolutely none of that in this film (quite the opposite). I'm so glad I watched it.
