No hay imágenes mas cinematográficas que aquellas donde se ve a la contracultura en plena manifestación: saltos, bailes, coreografías que desafían la gravedad. El hardcore fue la última gran música joven. El documental sufre lo que todo doc de este estilo sufre: la falta de criterio en algunos decisiones y la imposibilidad de abarcarlo todo. Se recomienda verla junto con "Punk's not Dead", la opera magna de Don Letts
