Brutal and harrowing. No matter how many times I watch this I am still taken aback by Crowe's performance, which is totally brilliant. Occasionally his support cast lets him down, but not too often. 'Romper Stomper', along with 'This is England' remains an exemplar in how to show the folly of hate, as it deals with its subject matter in a much more subtle and intelligent way than many of the other films that also deal with extreme right wing nutjobs, such as 'American History X'. Very good.

I always found McKenzie beautiful buy here, OMG! She's so cute.. Crowe shows us that he didn't learn much in the 17 years that passed, he had it all along, breathtaking performance. But the plot is a little weak since it doesn't give us anything about the characters and the motivations (maybe except for one of them but even that is very thin). Also one of those movies which proves that every bad thing happens because of women :).

Skinhead gangs are mindless and incredibly violent. Thats the extent of the plot !! This Is England features a similar skinhead group in a massively more intelligent and interesting way.

An impressive young and angry Russell Crowe.

"American History X: The decent version"

Vastly superior to American History X.

Romper Stomper is a raw, brutal and gripping take on the skinhead culture. There are no clever Balints or Vinyards, and I may just be a simple creature, but I like my neo-nazis obnoxious and stupid as hell. Sadly the movie suffers trememdously from a contrived triangle love-story. Without it, this would've been a cult classic.
