It's no Lords Of Dogtown.
First-time director Chris Zamoscianyk nicely captures the boozy, profane silliness of teenage boys on the loose, while drawing believable performances from a cast comprised largely of nonactors.
A remake and as such is predictable but a fine ensemble cast and terrific work by Denzel Washington and John Travolta make for a suspenseful fast paced action drama. Travolta is really in his element as the demented intelligent archtiect of this plot and his scenes with Washington are terrific.

Great camera work and skateboarding, but the lack or real actors and no unique plot line is where this movie bails.
