SLC Punk! (1998)
9/10
Good flick about Punk Counter-Culture.
19 August 1999
Some friends brought me to this movie with them, before we got there I hadn't heard anything about it except for what they had told me (which was just that it was about punks, in Salt Lake City).

I thought the movie was really good. The characters are dynamic, we get to learn more about them that explained the way they are. You can see the wheels turning as they're analyzing the situations they find themselves in (when appropriate).

The story (as the title says) is about 2 punks living in Salt Lake City Utah in the mid 80's. It's about their relationships with each other, other counter-culture types, their parents, and the law. It's about why they are the way they are.

This movie is probably not understood by conformists.

7/10
Another quality rip-off from Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez
19 August 1999
Very good movie, with the exception of being a little slow in a couple places. Good acting, good dialogue, good action.

Only problem is the storyline is a combination of Reservoir Dogs, Natural Born Killers, and the characters are from Resevoir Dogs and From Dusk till Dawn. I kept looking for Tim Roth everywhere. Sutherland tried to do everything himself and that's never a good idea, I think he stretched himself too thin.

The one thing missing in the movie was the soundtrack. But I can deal with that.

The movie should have gotten a lot more play than it did.
