Rude Boy (1980)
5/10
Nice Clash depiction but that's it
5 November 2022
Interesting depiction of the Clash from a sideline point of view, one really gets an understanding of their fanbase at the time and the Clash view concerning the general social/political situation in the UK at the time. Nice thing is that as the movie progresses you kind of get the impression of the band getting bigger and bigger. The various bits of concerts here and there also very nice.

The main problem is however that the rest of the time the movie doesn't work at all. The plot is very weak, not helped by the slob protagonist. Also the interactions between the protagonist and the band come out very wooden. I suppose this movie is more for Clash hardcore fans.
