Not bad...but

The first 20 minutes, I wondered what this was. Why did someone show us a definition of the word anarchy in the dictionary when we entered the anarchy house which was a commune? Why does everyone look so clean and wear what appears to be new clothes? And who pays the electricity bill?

So many things rubbed me the wrong way in this movie, but ultimately they should've killed the voice over. It worked in Trainspotting and Fight Club, but you can only really get away with that if you have something new to say. Trainspotting and Fight Club kind of said it all when it comes to alternative thinking.

I like the idea of Johnny Black, the real anarchist showing the hippy punks what a bunch of do nothing dorks they are. But why cast someone who looks like a roided out underwear model? Again, he wasn't going to be able to say anything better than Tyler Durden did in Fight Club, so why try?

Anarchy was summed up so much better in River's Edge without any declarations at all. That's what they should have done here - illustrate different ways of thinking, don't tell us what we're seeing in a voice over.

I also like the idea of him ratting out Johnny Black to the feds, but we didn't need to know what he did after that. We didn't need a redneck trucker that told him he had a pretty mouth. We certainly didn't need the young republican sado-masachist character, at all. But the idea of the Aryan nation being part of the movement was kind of a stroke of genius - I didn't see that coming and it was a very good point.

Some very decent potential with this movie.
