what an amazing film, with bands like minor threat and social unrest on the soundtrack its great. Amazing story and character development its a great film. the idea behind it is good and it shows skinhead punks getting beaten up like they should be. David Lee plays a good part and also you see the leader of the gang getting bullied by his dad, suggesting the reason for him acting like he does and having his "beliefs". This film is a lot better than American History X, its not the same type of film, its a different plot and situation completely, although both show good conventions and ideas, i think Pariah is the more gritty, lifelike film.
