Good movie if you take it for what it is-fiction.

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2005)

I really enjoyed this movie. I thought it was a good story, though rather loosely based on the actual events. Heath Ledger did an amazing job as Skip, especially with his accent. The sets were also recreated very nicely, giving the movie a good vibe. If you want the real story of the zboys get the documentary, the movie is very dramatic and overexagerates the characters. The movie had it's flaws, the characters aren't completely rounded and at times the transitions feel a little choppy. Despite it's downfalls, I still found the movie to be entertaining and able to evoke some emotion from the viewer. If you can look at the movie as a good story and not go searching for facts it's much more enjoyable. If you're looking for more fact than fiction watch the documentary.
