The first 30 mins (train robbery) was stunning!
Lost so much steam after that. I found it incredibly boring, pretentious, and over acted...not to mention extremely difficult to follow.

It may be a generational thing, but I'm a nineties child and it evoked some interesting thoughts in my mind about life in the eighties even though I never experienced it.

It seems that perception is more important than reality when it comes to that film.
I've mentioned before that I identify more with the Paul Gleason character than the rest. If you want a film about teenage experience and societal pressure, just go for American Graffiti. At least that's fun.
