Michael Freidson Time Out The film maintains a convincing realism: It's acted out by little-known but expert talents and shot, cleverly, as though the camera were a fly on the wall. Jul 30, 2007 Full Review A.O. Scott New York Times [T]his [...] film by Randolph Kret mistakes the study of a particularly virulent set of symptoms for a diagnosis... Nuance is not something Mr. Kret has much use for. Rated: 2/5 Aug 30, 2004 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle For all its chutzpah and idealism, Pariah remains a muddled mess, a far cry from Australian director Geoffrey Wright's seminal Romper Stomper, which this film clearly strives to emulate... Rated: 2/5 Mar 22, 2001 Full Review Ken Fox TV Guide Take a tip from the title: Shun this well-meaning but ridiculous revenge drama about a vicious gang of bone-headed, California neo-Nazis and the man hell-bent on destroying them. Rated: 2/4 Oct 4, 2006 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com There are plenty jolting episodes of rage and violence, but in the end this pulpy potboiler is wrapped up in an unsatisfyingly tidy, coincidence-heavy bow. Rated: 2/4 Jul 12, 2006 Full Review Film Threat Pariah is [...] a brave, in-your-face attempt to handle a very tough, highly unattractive subject. The result is a commendable, if unpleasant, near miss. Rated: 2.5/5 Dec 8, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

Siri V Very real description of hate and fanatism in many forms. Excellent made. Sad. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/11/23 Full Review Audience Member If you like Romper Stomper, Boondock Saints and such - you will like this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Unintentionally hilarious gang movie that overcomes its budgetary limitations with some energetic performances and frenzied direction. Despite the lurid violence and bellowing, its sheer physicality and verve makes the faux-grindhouse bollocks of Tarantino and co, look like the moisterised hogwash it is. Extra star for an amazingly OTT performance from David Lee Wilson as the psychotic gay skinhead. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I usually like skinhead films but this is quite boring and the script is messy. Good thing that there are lots of eyecandy! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Camera work is the worst i have ever seen,but if you can get throught the fact it looks like its done on a cheap video camera,its actually quite a good film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Jostain syystä dvd ei toiminut kunnolla mutta katoin tän mustavalkoisena ja johan oli vitun rankka elokuva! Ei tuu ees mieleen kattoo väreissä uudestaan, mv sopii paremmin! Jos uusnatsi-pätkät kiinnostaa niin tää on aika must see! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
