I grew up in the era this film was based The guys who were skinheads seemed to be larher and more threatening than the other older guys This film has portrayed this culture quite accurately Had to look up the actor who played the,Lead Skin Levi played by John Dalgleish as it was a masterpiece of acting Best skinhead portrayal ever The man must have watched a lot of videos to perfect the mannerisms and bullying leadership techniques .The way they wore the clothes which was an important part of it and introducibmng the female skins added another dimension Mixed cultures and no settled family as such leads to disaster .

I remember an Indian guy who was,a skinhead and went to football games so it did happen Awesome script and film plus Kate Beckinsale also shines and could be pretty in anything .

This i will gladly have part of my library and it should be more succesful than it was when released. Amazi g story of a mans journey to maturity.

Very realistic urban drama .

No glorification here just a guy trying to survive amongst a load of wolves .

I am a fan of this genre and Craig and the cast are all at their best .

Taken to breaking point things spiral out of control and come to a shattering conclusion This is one of the most believable roles I have seen Craig play I thought it would not be very good but it is one of the best. I did not want to add any spoilers to this review just qat h the film and you will understand.

Watched this film at last after all these years .

Brutal drama dealing with the ups and downs of a maori family who are part of a struggling community Drinking Sexual and domestic abuse drug taking all play their part in the film It paints a bleak picture of hopelessness.

I Thought it was hard going at first but the acting is desperate and deep Alcohol is a drug that has destroyed the normal lives of this community and others and this shows how the lives of once proud loving people that are trying desperately to hold on to their identity Beth and Jake are a powerful couple This film is definitely worth watching .It mirrors a lot of communities where alcoholism and poverty leads to horrible scenes .

It is a powerful film and disturbing.
