Critique
Hollywood really stomps on the motorcycle club image in this film! This is a serious demonization of the biker. Maybe they were trying to roll everyone back to the clean cut 1950's image through the influence of the big screen. The bikers in this movie are some bad dudes! They smoke pot, take LSD, and even partake in a gang rape. There is a sharp contrast between the outside world and the confines of the biker's dark and empty clubhouse. The storyline is predictable and a bit bland for my taste. You could write the plot down on a piece of paper that you would find in a fortune cookie and still have room left over.
