Graeme Clifford directs Christian Slater, Steven Bauer and Richard Herd in this skateboarding neo-noir where a rebellious teen investigates his foster brother’s murder.

There’s a surprising overflow of plot and character work here for a fad flick essentially made to show off Tony Hawk and his crew doing loads of cool tricks… sometimes in a Christian Slater wig. It is a mish-mash of tones and entertainment but as an artefact it is pretty cute.
