So, so true. Hollywood seems to have abandoned this sort of film work for two dimensional, CGI driven vacuous junk. I remember watching this in my twenties, when it was first shown and being blown away by the performances. No surprise that Tim Roth went on to be a star. Another film that's worth a watch that Tim Roth was in around that time for TV was 'Meantime' ( kzread.info/dash/bejne/h4yClNhuoM60h9o.html ). It also stars performances from Gary Oldman, Alfred Molina and Phil Daniels. That one was directed by Mike Leigh. Him and Alan Clarke both great directors, who really brought some tremendous performance out of the people they worked with. Their modern day equivalent would be someone like Shane Meadows. (Check out 'Dead Man's Shoes' by him, a favourite of mine.)

@@NormAppleton No. Trevor has few, if any, redeeming qualities about him and it has nothing to do with testosterone, because there are women who can be just as sick and mentally twisted as Trevor becomes. Trevor is an example when a bright minded person with no guidance because of a broken system acts out when they feel they have nothing to lose. Trevor is a deplorable, hateful, racist skinhead who unfortunately, because his intelligence, tricks himself into believing 80s British National Front propaganda and becomes a street thug with a vile cause. The saddest thing is that Trevor is told what will happen to him if he doesn't bother to change his behavior and is given an option out. What does he do? He decides to piss it all away by embracing his fate with open arms and take someone else down with him in the process. Rather than using his intelligence to right himself, he neglects it so he can continue to screw up until his fate is in the hands of the police. Not juvenile reform centers.

I'm rewatching cos a friend mentioned it yesterday and tried to say it was stupid cos Trevor, a skinhead gets pally with the black lad. I had to explain to him even though he's late 30s that true skinheads were into ska music, black music and that it's anarchistic counter culture that wanted to rebel against all authority. Only later did it become racist with the national front and combat 18 and they just copied the hair. He pointed out Trevor's swastika saying it proved he was racist. I had to explain that it was just a fuck you to authority in same way the old heavy metal bands used it. It kind of shocked me that I had to explain it, cos of the 90s racist skinheads, he fully believed that the whole thing was a racist movement. It was basically cos of all the unions and closures, kids grew up thinking they had no future in the 70s and 80s and rebelled and absolutely nothing about race to begin with. I thought it was common knowledge but seems the 90s skinheads have changed histories view of them. Even the anti immigrants attitude was all about work, Trevor even uses the word paki a few times but they were against any immigration coming and taking their jobs and even the skies are more just to shock and show how pissed off they were rather than active rsciam

Quentin Tarantino did crossovers,Ringo should have been Trevor,what he did 12 years later living in America trying to be a modernday Bonbnie and Clyde.

An excellent film, Tim Roth with a powerhouse performance. The Skinhead thing with Trevor is a little misunderstood. He's not a mindless thug, he's an intelligent young man who's angry with the system that he feels as thrown him and other young men under the bus. Dare i say i would welcome a sequel. Where we revisit Trevor in 2024.

I used to knock around with skinheads like that when I was a kid and he’s got the character down to a T . Great acting all round .

That vacant, nihilist grin at the end is perfection.

They really don't make movie's like they used to.

Tim Roth is one of Brian’s best actor by a country mile and that is a bold statement taking into consideration the great actors Britain has produced I grow up in Britain in the 80s and Trevor is excellent example of of a teenager of the time but would last no more then an hour on the streets of Britain today sad , sad , very sad

It was made for TV, like almost all of Alan Clarke's features. As far as I can tell, this is the full film.

Having lived in this era, area and society at that time as a school leaver - I can account for the authenticity of the system (of which I had more than a passing dalliance with). Being rolled in a mattress and given the boot was a very real thing. They also used to give you water by holding the cup just beyond the flap of the cell door, making you reach for it, where-upon an officer placed each side would grab your arm pull it through and hold it flat against the door while I third would go to work on it with a blunt instrument.

Funny thing is that the police have now virtually become social workers, and they get even less respect! Which is the best approach I wonder?

This film is oddly genius

The first time I ever heard about this movie was from listening to a rap album called 'Council Estate of Mind' by a London rapper named Skinnyman. He masterfully uses multiple samples from this film throughout the whole album to weave a narrative. It's a really good album!
