Movie Reviews of Boston Beatdown, Vol. 2
Movie Review: An important film that someone had the guts to make
Summary: 5 Stars
I read a quote from Steven Blush (author of American Hardcore: A Tribal History) who said the film was 'dark, defiant, and driven.' Well put. I think the only people who should talk about this are the ones who watch it. The Boston Phoenix trashed it without even watching a clip.I grew up in the scene and danger, violence, and confrontation are a part of Hardcore. If you don't like it then don't show up.
Hats off to the filmakers and Crosscheck for the courage to release this. I'm sure you all are just getting started.
Summary of Boston Beatdown, Vol. 2
Since the limited release of volume 1, Boston Beatdown has become synonymous with the association of violence and hardcore. From the attack by hardcore kids on Moby to the sewing up of stab wounds on a living room couch, no other hardcore documentary hasBoston Beatdown, Volume 2 is either a shocking testament to the history of Boston's ultra-violent harcore community or raw material for an anthropological study of rock territoriality. Not exactly a documentary--a documentary has a point-of-view--Boston Beatdown is a rough compilation of amateur footage of young males (and some females) beating each other to a pulp, time after time, as hardcore enthusiasts wage war against anyone who isn't them at clubs and private gigs. Somewhere in the relentless bloodletting we hear the churning rage-rock of Blood for Blood, Death Before Dishonor, and Ten Yard Fight, and there are (academically speaking) fascinating interviews with past and present members of Boston's F.S.U. gang, which formed a decade or so ago to cleanse their turf of just about everybody. Among the horrors here is the film's palpable delight at footage of Moby being assaulted by several cretins on a Boston sidewalk. --Tom Keogh
