Overview

In 1987 Oakland, a mysterious force guides The Town's underdogs in four interconnected tales: teen punks defend their turf against Nazi skinheads, a rap duo battles for hip-hop immortality, a weary henchman gets a shot at redemption, and an NBA All-Star settles the score.

8/10

An anthology style film, set over a few chapters, that tie together all the characters. There wasn't too much in character development but it felt like it wasn't really needed since it's broken down into chapters. The premise of each chapter is what amounted to the fun this film is. It's a little over the top but that's what contributeds to the charm of this film. I truly appreciate the use of 924 Gilman as a set because, well, i was in my late teens during the year this film takes place and I made many treks from Tahoe area to the Gilman to see shows there, practically from the get go. I feel this film scores well with me because it's the era i came of age.
