Loved the movie, 15 June 2008
10/10
Author: anfieldman from United States

I saw it, and loved it. OK, so it was not classic, but the soundtrack was ace and the "freedom" theme was bang on. There was a Guinness ad of some guy swimming the harbour ("it take 98 seconds to pour the perfect pint of Guinness") and it reminded me of this movie - sort of Quadrophoenia-meets-Please Sir - and it was very much a 1978 movie, especially if you did the south coast That Summer. I bought the sound track on CD, loaned it to someone and never saw it again. Best music collection ever. Ray Winstone was the star even then. I met him when he was making Robin Hood at HTV in Bristol - I expect he still remembers. I expect the movie will be like an early Dr Who - great at the time, but crappy in retrospect, but, like Warriors - I loved it!
