CGiii Comment
Theo van Gogh's last film before he was murdered by a Muslim extremist following a television documentary on the Islamic mistreatment of Islamic women.
The film is a cheap and nasty depiction of Islamic juvenile delinquents - played by Islamic juvenile delinquents...
We fully understand that drama therapy can be a very useful tool when tackling troubled people - that said, it does not necessarily mean that it should be wrapped up in pleasant packaging and delivered into the public arena...as a film...expecting to make money.
Badly acted, written and directed...this is the point when filmmaking by anyone with a camera becomes intolerable - a bogus sham of a piece.
No trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Five friends take their hours with petty crimes. Are persuaded by a tough gangster and his seductive girlfriend to rob a bank. When they are caught, they are condemned to spend a year and a half in Glen Mills, an experimental reformatory.
