Review of Lords of Dogtown (2005) by Hunter T — 03 Oct 2009
Skip: You gotta approach every day as if it's your last!
It's a true story about the Z-Boys and those around them. And about how they revolutionated skating during the 70's and practically made it what it is today.
But it's also a story about friendship, a friendship being tested by fame and money. Loyalty to their friends, struggling with the loyalty to Skip Engblom(Heath Ledger), their mentor and role model...There's some romance and family issues, drugs, alcohol and disease and eventually death.
The whole story, although it could have been played out in a different way, is very interesting and captivating. The acting though is really good. From Heath Ledger to Emile Hirsch and Victor Rasuk, they all shine. Really good performances.
Definitley wort watching. An interesting plot a great soundtrack and brilliant performances.
