VakiPitsi When I saw "SLC punk!" for the first time I was surprised, a lot... I saw the trailer and I thought "oh cool another movie about punk, drugs and subculture" but boy was I wrong. Instead of the shallow movie for just entertainment purposes that I expected I got a true masterpiece that would haunt my thoughts for weeks. The intense scenes, the whole irony behind the characters, the realism of the script together with amazing acting (another surprise, Lillards acting) made this movie for me seriously life changing! After finishing the film tons of question are born inside your head about, you, the world, society. In conclusion a very straight forward film with deep meaning!

sneepvaart That was the best acting i ever saw when heroine bob lay there pretending to be dead and i couldn't hold back the tears of laughter at mathews lillards terrificly crap acting when bob dope loses all hope .... come on bob, get up - stop posing. Then he exclaims very so so like 'and we put him under the ground' and the official cause of death is one of the drugs in the queens of the stone age song 'feel good hit of the summer'. Now he's going off to hug a tree; so shaun puts all this acid in his pocket; GANDI ! - What can i shay (not a typo - note his funny voice), we weren't much more than a couple of young pukes; hey man you got any nail varnish for my balls? ; bob was like that - a real asshole; (steve-o) i haven't taken a shower with a man before but i kind of like it; yeah hardcore; you grabs his legs i'll grab his balls - yeah hardcore! These are all one of a kind quotes you will find in this great movie, so i say to you watch it cause its hardcore like a kick in the testes

reigntall An entertaining tale of two punks in SLC, with a good supporting characters, and a strong performance by Lilliard.Salt Lake City (SLC) is a very conservative place, and the two main characters Stevo (Lilliard) and Bob (Goorjian) are in a very small minority. There isn't much of an overarching story, though there is an underlying message, but rather a collection of events, including flashbacks. These are introduced by Lilliard's narration. The anecdotes themselves are so entertaining, that ride is still very enjoyable. One tale for example, involves the gang getting alcohol from the next state over, and the shopkeeper believing they have been taken over by Satan. There are also serious, dramatic moments, which are effective, as all the characters involved are likable. Lilliard puts on a compelling varied performance, and it is a shame that he wasn't recognized as the great actor he is, and didn't/hasn't become more mainstream. A lesser known film with a great script, great acting, and very entertaining, with some sort of underlying message.

rtensleep-1 As one of those SLC Punks I want to say that I liked the film and Stevo even gave approval. Though the accuracy is not there and there is no mention of the SLC music which included 'The Massacre Guys' which was one of the bands Stevo was in, The film is of interest. I didn't know Bob well so I wont speak of him or how he obtained that moniker though the movie does tell of the myth. Stevo (Now known as Stephan Egerton) did not become a lawyer. In fact, after his good friend and Massacre Guy Karl Alverez. he joined the band 'All' and later they reverted back to the original 'Decedents' after Milo returned. Sean (Fightmaster)(You can find him on line) Did not become a bum as I knew him since he was 14. The acid in the sprinklers portion is up for debate though Sean at times of lucidity claimed that it never happened. Sean died of a heroin overdose two years ago and is greatly missed. Just a note from someone that was there...Though it's fuzzy now!
