Review of Romper Stomper (1992) by Jens T — 26 Oct 2012
Before Russell Crowe made it in Hollywood, he was just another Aussie actor, with a music carrier on the side, Romper Stomper was his international and critical breakthrough. In this film Russell Crowe plays Hando, a neo-nazi, a skinhead who lives in the poor side of Melbourne, where in the same neighborhood as many Vietnamese immigrants whom Hando and his gang is occasionally harassment and beats them up. But one day, the immigrants decide to take down the skinheads once and for all, with hordes of baseball bats out numbered. And Hando and his gang is on the run.
Romper Stomper is good little Aussie indie, with a good insight to the skinheads environment, and with characters with such depth even though they are neo-nazi, I could even swear there where some doubt. A terrific film about three fugitives on the an constant runaway. Thumbs up.
