John DeFore

Hollywood Reporter

An empathetic drama ready to put straight-laced audiences in the shoes of a maligned subculture.

Los Angeles Times

"Bomb City" just keeps on having its Caucasian adolescents scream into the ether until you get it: angry middle-American teenagers are all not alike!

Austin Chronicle

The film's message, which it wields like a war chain, is a timeless one: Don't be such a dick to people because they look different from you. We all live in Bomb City: One stray match and the whole thing will explode.

Rated: 4/5

Cinemanía (Spain)

[Bomb City] doesn't approach the facts in an analytical way, nor does it investigate the corrupt mechanisms of power that allow an assassin to go free. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 1/5

Bomb City ends up being a film as angry as it is affected: its form compromises its reasons. [Full Review in Spanish]

Avoid at all cost, there's nothing but wasted here; bad language poor story. Why even this matter? What's with the title do with "bomb? Why a high rating either? $ back guarantee, please.

… it suffers for its terrible performances and dreadful dialogue. I was hopeful. I thought they might accidentally get one decent performance. Not. There is something remarkably silly about anyone older than eighteen on a skateboard. Aaaaaaaw … they're all good people … they like the liddle puppie dogs….All very simplistic and black and white with its views. And that constant give me emotion music…Didn't know when to quit. Also a little hard get preached to by Marlyn Manson (SP - ICGAF) these days….

The classic timeless theme of youthful angst clashing against itself, punk rockers versus jock preps in this one. It seemed like it wanted to tell both sides of the story but it was unbalanced in doing so but somewhat justified that with the ending it gave. Unbalanced, flashforwards, flashbacks, slow and with nothing much going on at times... but I didn't hate it. Different editing could make this a lot more appealing to the masses. Still, people who like American History X, The Outsiders, etc. should like this but unlike those this is based on a true story. 3 1/2 of 5
