Great Start But Lost Along The Way.

Rating: 6/10 (20 February 2006)

This movie didn't make it big in the theatre, but that doesn't mean this skateboarding movie is bad. In fact it one of the most decent I have seen in years. Though not even close to that good and also the middle of movie is way too brief, it doesn't really stop me from watching it.
Story: Base on true story of the four legendary Z-Boys, as they earn they way to success before crumbling they friendship.
The movie does have something to offer. And once watched, you get the feeling that you're in the 70's. The movie and the director create a really good atmosphere for the movie. Heath Ledger might star in it but he not what good about this movie. It is the characteristics of the three main characters that standout, even if, they acting are not that good.
The story is entertaining but the way they friendship fell apart it is way way too brief and can be confusing. But the ending is pretty good but I'm not really sure if everyone will like it. The story gives a pretty good idea about skating during that time and the brief change in the material used to make board better.
Recommendation: A Hard Core Skateboarder Fans Wouldn't Have Like This Movie, But For Everybody Else, I Guess It Pretty OK.
