5.0 out of 5 starsMuch maligned minor-masterpiece from Paul Verhoeven.
By Jonathan James Romley on 31 July 2005
Format: DVD
Paul Verhoeven's much-underrated film Spetters tells the typically brash and uncompromising story of three young men growing up in a sleepy village just outside of Rotterdam, consumed by small-town ennui, and desperate for a life more glamorous and exciting than their own loafing existence of discothèques, motor-cross and general everyday tedium. It has a lot in common with certain American teen-melodramas of the late 70's and early 80's (films like Foxes, Rumble Fish, The Outsiders, River's Edge, etc), though is shot through with that liberated European sensibility that probably has more in common with Fassbinder, in terms of gritty stylisation.
The story doesn't really advance on the initial set up, with this being more of a character based film in the minor-key (at odds with some of Verhoeven's better known films, like Robocop, Basic Instinct and The Fourth Man), with the director drawing on the relationships between the lead characters and their various situations, in order to elicit a greater sense of drama. The characters are all believable and likeable to an extent - despite the opening scenes establishing them as a bunch of arrogant, feckless (possibly homophobic?) punks only out for themselves - however, as the film progresses, Verhoeven and his scriptwriter Gerard Soeteman (who collaborated with the director on all of his pre-Hollywood films) begin playing with notions of irony, to strip away all the remnants of their confidence and self-assurance in a number of melodramatic tragedies.
The film has a great style and feel to it, with Verhoeven capturing the real feel of early-80's Holland (or so I'd imagine) whilst also establishing a mood of endless possibilities for these three main characters.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsa film without a proper heart, but some redeeming features
By schumann_bg TOP 50 REVIEWER on 20 Sept. 2015
Format: DVD
Possible plot spoilers

Spetters has some merit as a film about three rough-and-ready motocross riders, their bid for success in the Dutch biking world, and their chaotic private lives, revolving around a sexy girl who runs a hotdog stall and is somewhat on the make. To be fair, it does show this world with a certain ambiguity and is possibly quite true to life as a sequence of events; nevertheless the nastiness and egotism on show for so much of the film are depressing. It plays a bit like a Fassbinder film but is cheaper, without the moral focus. For all its insights, it ultimately rings false, having an element of Footloose about it which jars with its more serious ambitions. One of the boys has a serious accident and ends up being led to a painful brush with born-again Christianity, but the way this is handled leaves you unsure what the director Paul Verhoeven is trying to say, it all seems so hopeless. Probably he didn't need to show the scene in such detail. There is also a satire of the media, which is shown to be heartless, and the world motocross champion also. A suicide takes place to tacky twanging guitars ... again the tone is questionable. All three characters are guilty of a horrible homophobic assault near the beginning, even though one of them is later gang-raped and subsequently decides he is gay himself. It may be that these things do happen, but it makes for grim viewing, even more so when presented as a gritty entertainment - it needs a starker treatment, as the Dardenne brothers might give it. Instead, it is a sort of buddy film with jarring notes. Leaving these aside, the acting is good, there are scenes with an erotic frisson and some vivid, noisy bike-racing sequences. It also records the era (1980) with a sharp sense of social observation, but is marred by those misjudgements.

Good movie. Somewhere between relentless and sensationalist is a harsh reality portrayed with more depth than I expected.

3.0 out of 5 starsUltra graphic semi porno early effort from the man who would bring us Starship Troopers and Hollow Man
By BigAl82 on 26 April 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Its not an easy watch so if you're looking for Cinderella 2 then you've chosen poorly. For what it is, a uber graphic coming of age drama, this film fulfils any briefs. There's much to enjoy here but BEWARE it's also a film which contains some supreme nastiness and explicit content. The film can be watched though and any film with that guy from the hitcher and the one from jumpin jack flash in it is worth a watch.
