Romper Stomper (Special Edition)

Rating:
Summary: Continually amazed...
Review: .... at Russell Crowe's ability to covey emotions nonverbally to the camera.

It's intense and hard to watch at times, but worth seeing more than once, twice, or three times - so buy it rather than rent it.

Summary: A complaint from a customer
Review: HEY! How about taking out any reviews that give away keys parts of the plot, such as which central characters die? Why would I want to see a movie once I know this?

Summary: Hate/Fear or Love which is the most violent?
Review: How many people got this?

Reviewer: [e-mail] (jacob klein) from Cleveland OH excellent film telling age old stories. the fight for territory. and the fight for love. The skinhead aspect of the movie is secondary to the underlying themes

This movie deals with a lot more than violence. Even the most hateful person shows real caring. The most vile person I found was Gabrielle's father. Worth watching again.

Summary: Romper Stomper stomps on alright....
Review: I initally bought this film because I had just seen Russell Crowe in Gladiator and wanted to see more of his work, and I'm glad I did. This film is an absolute must see. It's not an film easy to watch, indeed sometimes you may well find yourself disgusted by the behaviour of the characters. It challenges you to think about what Crowe and his gang believe in and why.

Russell Crowe's performance is fantastic, his face so expressive that, in some cases, he doesn't even have say anything for you to know exactly what he is thinking. Whilst his character (Hando), is a complete hard-case, we do get to see his softer side on occassion, this is a good thing because other-wise Hando isn't a very likable character.

Gabe his sort-of-girlfriend puts in a fine performance, which she needed to playing opposite such a strong character as Hando, and holds up well.

Don't expect to see Maximus here, but if you're a female fan and have often asked yourself "I wonder exactly what Russell Crowe looks like in his Y fronts?" Then this is the film for you!

Summary: Shocking and amazing
Review: I sat down to watch this movie with an open mind as to whether i would like it or not, but was instantly taken aback by it's gritty and brutal beginning and the awesome acting from Crowe. Not seen this yet? BUY IT NOW!

Summary: A realistic drama with powerfull acting
Review: When Romper stomper was origionally released it suffered a large amount of criticism for its extreme violence. However the violence never goes to excess and is in keeping with the violent nature of the film. While it doesn't have the moral message of American History X, it still delivers a punch. The acting is uniformally excellent with the ever talented Crowe proving he has a wide range of acting abilities. If this film appeals then another film of equal status 'ID' should be suitable. The music like the film is fast paced and relentless. This is not a film afraid to show graphic violence and should be highly praised for its ambition.

Summary: exposed mentality
Review: this is a great shot of how skins, nazis and rascists operate within a realm of their own. when american history x came out, people were stunned. i've talked to, and fought against skinheads and romper stomper shows the mentality and casual brutality of them. Crowe is worth hating in this, and true art will pull any emotion out of you, this one is anger.

Summary: Brilliance all the way
Review: Man,if you thought Ed Norton was charismatic in American History X then Crowes performance will blow you away.THE best movie to come out of this country and the person who is embarrassed that the American & Canadian audience should see it,then you dont truly know the importance of this film.This is the most realistic portrayal of biggotry,racism and stupidity I have ever seen in any film yet.If your offended by this,the way its supposed to offend then all the better.

Summary: Awesome
Review: this movie shows better than other white racist movies the way that life was, even better than american history-x, it was bad lighting etc. but a good movie non-the less russell crowe played an excellent role, making it even better to sit through

Summary: Why I bought this movie
Review: Now, I would never have bought this movie if it hadn't have been for Russell Crowe. It is not my cup of tea but only for him. He's my age, he can act & he's gorgeous!
