Romper Stomper does it Better

Rating: Null/10 (17 October 2000)

I finally got round to seeing this movie last weekend, after having some spare time to myself. After all the hype it got, and all the reviews I read, I was looking forward to one brilliant movie. I have to say I was left slightly disappointed. Perhaps it's because I was expecting too much. I`d also seen a film called Romper Stomper, which stars Russell Crowe in probably one of his first films, about Australian skinheads and the racism towards the Chinese community. This, in my humble opinion, is a more powerful movie than American History X. Better directed, and better acted. I would recommend that if you had a choice between the two movies - forget American History X, and go for Romper Stomper instead.
