*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Skate or die ? I'd rather die. I was expecting an action movie based on skate boarding (tittle), but this movie is really nothing about skate boarding. I could say it's about something else but it's about nothing at all. The plot is nothing more than 2 kids watching drug dealers (cops) killing somebody (wow) and then trying to run away from them which they do really nicely , in fact you will never see the drug dealers and the kids together on a shot, why ?. No cool tricks, no 360° flip backside upside or whatever the tricks name are, just moves that any beginner could do. Every "side stories" are totally random and does not link. From the very beginning the end is obvious, and the movie leads you to the end painfully. Another painful aspect of the movie is the musics ... or they don't fit (porn movie songs???), or they are totally "ugly" (even Passi's song at the end, plain wrong). Cheap, cheap and cheaper! Photography isn't too bad but the montage/editing... a real pain. The concept was really attractive, and could have been so good, if only they gave the concept to someone talented (even to myself!) to write it. Save yourself a headache, don't watch this movie.
