Review of 12 O'Clock Boys (2013) by Davy F — 12 Feb 2014
Lofty Nathan documents the peculiar amalgam of young corner "hoppers" and dirt bike counter culture in this impressive documentary that follows a kid called Pug as he works his way into the 12 O'Clock boys - a Mad Max-esque gang of dirt bike riders who cause havoc en masse throughout the streets of Baltimore.
The film bears the aestheticism of an episode from the first season of The Wire, and dialogue from something you'd hear in a Young Jeezy interview, but manages to pack the emotional weight of a 'Bottle Rocket' and WILL charm the fucking socks off of you.
Also two-strokes.
