'Threat' is a movie that I've been hearing about forever. It's a movie that has had me interested in it from the first time I saw the trailor. The music seemed amazing, the concept amazing.
The reality...

A friend calls me and tells me that Hot Topic has 'that movie' that I've been waiting to see. Which I think is weird because I know it never opened in Chicago, but he was right. So we go, I pick it up.
Here are a few quotes from the case...
"Makes 'kids' look like an after-school special"
"Fierce, Fervid, Lyrical, Incendiary"
"Unflinching, Scathing...just the opening independent film needs to regain its independence"

Well I wish there was an ounce of truth to any of those. I'll never get that hour plus of my life back.
It's not a deeply profound written film about the ills of society, it's not a philosphical masterpiece about the state of the world or music. It's not realistic commentary on the state of music scence.
It's a movie filled with typical cliche DIY ethics and a poorly written script.
Some examples of how terrible this film is:
At one point in the movie a 'straight edge' kid is at work as a barback. He's complaining about people drinking and his friend, another straight edge kid asks
"if you hate the alcohol industry so much, why do you work here?"
after looking like he was just asked the meaning of life...his response...
"uh...know your enemy"
This is the same straight edge kid that works as a barback who starts a crew called 'One less drunk' and later is part of the finale where kids are fighting everywhere. The same barback shooting people for being drunk.

Jim's character isn't a revolutionary, neither is his friend Fred. They're both ridicilious jokes.

Here's another great example...
Fred and Jim both work at a comic book store. It seems that Fred is some sort of security guard. early in the film Fred watches another black man attempt to steal a comic book. He takes him into the back room and lectures him, and lets him leave and when leaving he throws the comic book at the kid and lets him take it anyway. Yet in another scene Fred searches Jim's back to make sure he's not stealing....What? What the hell is going on here...is he against stealing from the store or not?

This movie was poorly written, poorly filmed and poorly edited.

If you're interested do yourself a favor and try to rent it somewhere, but do not pay for this film. I don't care if it was shot entirely by a cast and crew in their early and late 20's.
This film is awful.

ha! love the comment about "never get that hour of my life back"...wooof...that's a bad movie! biggrin

and thank you! blush
