Romper Stomper

Buy This Item Romper Stomper by 20th Century Fox  Available from Amazon  $9.98  on 11-16-2008     Those who saw Russell Crowe's mesmerizing star turn in Gladiator will be blown away by his breakthrough performance in Romper Stomper. Crowe plays the confused yet charismatic leader of a rowdy gang of skinheads, showcasing his undeniable power as an actor. The controversial film drew rave reviews for its visceral look at how the seeds of racial hatred, fueled by fear and paranoia, can explode into raw violence. Winner of three Australian Film Institute Awards, including Best Actor for Crowe, Romper Stomper is "exhilarating and utterly brilliant" (Preview Magazine). Reader Reviews This is an amazing movie of course, a must-see for any Russell Crowe fan, or anyone who loves independent film (the studio is listed as 20th Century Fox only because they bought the rights to it after the fact). You must be VERY careful however not to get the censored version- most of the earlier versions, usually listed as "Unrated" are the full movie. The 2002 re-release (with the chain link on the cover) and any version you buy at Wal-Mart (the protector of the almighty family values) will have the nudity and sexual content cut/altered. They leave in all the racism and violence, but I suppose they found sex intolerable.
