Just Mediocre

Rating: 3/10 (1 June 2019)

In contrast to Peralta's superb 2001 documentary about the rise of skateboarding and the Zephyr team, this is an uninspired effort.

This was an unnecessary project. The cast is mediocre to poor. This is Heath Ledger's worst role. Its also one of Catherine Hardwick's lesser directorial efforts. Its really not their fault. There is very little to work with here. Peralta wrote this poor screenplay, but I get the feeling he was getting pressure from above to make a lot of compromises.

The end result is an aimless narrative that sells hip, cool and attitude. There's really no substance here. Its a shame.
