"This country buys out subversives. Turns rebels into fashion trends."


I think of this line and laugh every time I see a "rebel" wearing an N.W.A. or Ramones t-shirt or sporting elaborate tats. So many things that were once considered dangerous have been mainstreamed because "edginess" became profitable.

Richet and Gibson were obviously inspired by great old school action flicks. There's no filler in this one. Hits the ground running and doesn't let up until the very end.

Good recommendation. I cringe every time I hear an Iggy Pop song in a commercial.

Saw a Morrissey concert a few months back (great show). It was at a nice performing arts center. While waiting in the lobby, I noticed a guy in his 50s wearing a Fugazi t-shirt...and a Rolex...who walked straight to an elevator marked "Private - Donors Only." I just had to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.
