Just got in from seeing this film, so I'm blogging it whilst it's fresh.

A powerful film, hits home with me as I used to get chased by skinheads a lot when I was in my teens and beaten up by them occasionally (I could run fast so they rarely caught me and DM's arent built for pace). I also have a good mate who's an ex skinhead, Mick, though he was a true skinhead and not one of the later day National Front racist/fascist pricks everyone usually associates with the scene. For all I know though Mick may have been one of those chasing me, ha! Skinheads and mods just didn't get along most of the time. I soon tired of being a mod - read: beaten up - so I eventually drifted away from it all, but I digress............

The film captures both sides of that scene brilliantly as well as life in England in the 80's, Thatcher, the Falklands War, racism etc. It has a killer sound track and the kid who is the star is a great little actor, awesome first time effort.

Brought back some great memories. Go see it.
