| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeRemember when Paul Verhoeven made good movies? |
| Time OutDerek AdamsImagine a Mike Leigh film set in Holland with motorbike stunts, packed with authentic action sequences and sexual frankness... |
| User ReviewBJ SThe graphic sexuality in this film, both hetero and homosexual, may put many people off, but this film is Paul Verhoeven, who brought such travesties as Showgirls and Starship Troopers to the screen,'s greatest film. The story follows three shiftless young men who wish to escape their small-town surroundings through motocross. Shocking and explicit, but powerful. |
| User ReviewRichard PSpetters has some very beautiful and talented actors. It is a colorful, beautifully filmed, well acted movie. I loved it. |
| User ReviewMatthew MI really enjoy this film. I love Paul Verhoeven's work and this one is a fun movie. It seems like something is always happening and the characters are different and experience many different situations. It does have some explicit sexual scenes but it makes for a unique experience for me. I just feel that it is well made and presents a lot of avenues that life can take us. |
| User ReviewDanny CVerhoeven does sex (again) and relationships. Like all his Dutch efforts, this one frequently veers off into comedy and seemingly random scenarios, and it's always fun to watch. |
| User ReviewMichael MA very good Verhoeven movie, but its not for wussies. |
| User ReviewLawrence SA Dutch film that few know about but a great story and the main actress reminds me of someone I used to fancy like mad. |
| User ReviewJohn MI enjoy this movie, but due to it's extremely graphic sexuality, others may not. |
| User ReviewSylvain AIt's a coming of age story that takes place in a town where dirt bike racing is popular. All the characters are well defined and there are a handful of nice little moments that make this movie better then most coming of age stories. |
