So should you, in turn, get yourself to the theater to watch it?

I think that depends on what you want out of it.

If you want a bikesploitation flick with gratuitous violence and sex, this isn’t the film. Yeah, there are two-fisted brawls, and worse, but none of that is played up for Tarantino-style shock. And nobody is running around naked, even half-naked. There are no ridiculous drug deals or arms sales going down. This isn’t Sons of Anarchy, not even close. The criminality of the gang is glossed over, just as it is in all those old one-percenter autobiographies, at least until the statute of limitations expires. But neither does it portray all these bikers as folksy heros, like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. It shows them for who they are. At their best, they’re chain-smoking, drunken scofflaws. At their worst, the club’s worst members are vile and murderous.
