Spotswood is a move which takes it’s time to let the characterisations mature, but does so with a reasonable feeling of pace, and it’s a local movie, but one with international appeal.
I really hope that this movie was paid for by a church somewhere, Ed Wood style. At least in that case you could say that some sort of misguided sense of evangelism was behind it, and write it off as The Passion Of Moloch
I have nothing against fat people, or kids, or even fat kids, but the sight of a large-and-in-charge pasty skinned 13 year old huffing his way across the country side in his PE kit and NHS glasses is just not the way to open a movie.
Christopher Walken is in this movie. So is Michael Ironside. It has possibly the most ludicrous plane to plane combat scene in cinema history. This movie should be taught in schools.
Perhaps it’s that he seems much more like the kind of person that would actually be a hit man than in other films, or perhaps we’re just so glad that his sex scene is very brief, but there is something likeable about Forsythe’s hitman, John Hatch.
As you may have guessed from above, Gang Law is actually the UK name, quite explicably replacing the US title: “Hot Boyz”.
Despite Lorenzo’s top billing, the ever lovely Kathleen Kinmont is most definitely the star. The central message of the film seems to be “don’t underestimate hot chicks”, as a series of ignorant males get offed after doing just that
