| Romper Stomper is a morally ambiguous look at a group of neo-Nazis raising hell in Melbourne, Australia. A gang of vacant, brutish young thugs headed by a terrifying but charismatic MEIN KAMPF-quoting skinhead named Hando declares war on a community of Vietnamese immigrants. In between bouts of vicious racial violence, Hando picks up a drug-addicted rich girl in a bar and adopts her as his lover. When Hando's second-in-command, the more sensitive, semi humane Davey, falls for Hando's new girlfriend, the stage is set for a potentially explosive love triangle.In this brutal film, a gang of hard-luck Australian skinheads takes its frustrations out on Vietnamese immigrants. Hatred pulled the skinheads together, but the love of a woman pulls them apart just as the foreigners they have been terrorizing decide to fight back. Actor Russell Crowe shines in one of his first leading roles in this controversial hit from Australia. |
