Synopsis

Dein Perry's film directorial debut is a story inspired by the story of his own rise from steelworking in industrial Newcastle, Australia to become a renowned dancer, director and choreographer of the shows TAP DOGS and STEEL CITY. Sean Okden (Adam Garcia) is a dissatisfied young steelworker and rebellious, gifted tap dancer that gets a chance to escape his dead-end job by landing a spot in a big Sydney dance show. Sean's brother, Mitch (Sam Worthington), is also a talented dancer but aspires to start a trucking company--a dream that the young men's tough, lonely father Gary (Richard Carter) has an easier time accepting. The brothers' close relationship is tested when both fall for the beautiful Linda (Sophie Lee), and when Mitch's sideline habit of stealing cars causes trouble with local thugs. Sean's hotheaded ways get him kicked out the Sydney show, but when he returns to Newcastle, he rallies some fellow blue-collar tap school graduates to create a new, cutting-edge dance show. Despite the town's ridicule and his heartbreak over Linda, Sean fights to follow his dream. Perry's film features a cast of talented dancers executing raw, high-energy tap sequences in their steel-plated boots, and a breakout dramatic performance by Garcia.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great film - Reminded me of Riverdance in a strange way., 19 Oct 2007

By	E. Crawfurd (Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This film is really good - I found the storyline almost took a backseat to the dancing. Bootmen plays with sound and shows how the most innocent of object can be used to create music. Set in and around the steelworks the film worked surprisingly well especially when Adam Garcia's character started experimenting with the various areas and types of metal (stairs, ridged flooring, etc) found around his place of work. I found that the brief plot taking Adam to Sydney was almost unneccessary as it was so short lived - perhaps if the writers/directors/producers had extended that line it would have made more viewing sense however I was left feeling profoundly letdown by that aspect of the story. In my opinion, though, by the time you finish watching this film you will be left feeling that this story resounds in your heart as the sound of the taps fade. Reminiscent of Riverdance in the experimentation with tap dancing I found this film incredibly enjoyable.
