An Hilarious, disturbing must see !!

PaulaWestwood from Ashton-Under-Lyne [Highly rated reviewer] , 06/05/2007

Firstly, 15 year old Thomas Turgoose is immense in this, a truly magnificent, humerous performance full of truth. Secondly, the film itself is superb, it punches where it needs to and exhorts fits of laughter too, totally describing the 80s, certainly as I remember them, with a cringing accuracy that made me catch my breath. Based on a group of skinheads having fun who get unfortunately re-involved with a more radical race obsessed ex-member who has been in prison, who attempts to turn the good time gang into a bunch of race hate muppets. The whole thing is a well worked and worthy film that I would not hesitate in recommending wholeheartedly.

Now... I repect greatly others views and don't comment on them at all, as they are after all only opinions, but on this occasion I must, as there is a glaring mis-opinion on these pages. A reviewer from Bradford TOTALLY gets this wrong, the whole thing is based on actual experiences of the writer and director Shane Meadows, so this DOES and DID actually happen and is I recall accurate from my own experiences, Mr you are wrong and could have put people off this who would otherwise do so.... so shaddap !!!!

The end of England's dreaming

GreenwichPaul [Highly rated reviewer] , 08/06/2007

Shane Meadows once again proves himself to be one of the best directors working in the UK today with this alternately funny and shocking study of skinhead culture in the 80's as it implodes into violence and hatred.

It is the story of a lonely 12 year old who befriends a group of skinheads in the early 80's. But the dynamics of the group change with the unexpected and unwelcome arrival of Combo. Although it is said to be based on truth this is not always a believable film but that is a minor quibble

The film manages to tread carefully between broad comedy and intense drama and has moments of pure cinematic brilliance which is all pulled together by the superb acting and Meadows' confident direction. Excellent

Excellent

A customer from uk , 06/11/2007

This film captures the period very well. The acting is excellent. Every character, both nice and nasty, is believeable. The story, the scenes and situations are all realistic and well executed in this film. It may not be a storyline to everyones taste but there's no denying quality when you see it. Watch it and I defy you not to be affected by one thing or another in this film
