7/10
Not too bad

I have a non-fiction book titled, "Under and Alone" by William Queen. It's about a ATF Agent infiltrating and becoming a full patch-holding, and officer, member of a 1% Outlaw Motorcycle Club (not "gang" but club) This movie seems almost based on it. The first time I watched this movie, I was not impressed. I have watched it 2 more times and it actually is more like what the lifestyle of (violent) 1% M/C clubs are about. The bikes were authentic (no Hondas w/Harley primary covers wired on) the "Bros" have tattoos and dress/act the part. Bosworth's performance is actually okay. He comes across as semi-convincing. His lack of any tattoos really makes him look like an "overgrown Bamm Bamm" but it's his movie, so... The extremely violent ending in the courthouse is rather over the top, though. Dozens upon dozens of people killed and injured and only TWO stretchers are seen entering the building. Then Bosworth walks away. That's not how it works, but, it's his movie, so... If you want to see what Outlaw Brotherhood is (sort of) about, it's all here, in "black and white". (true outlaws know what I mean by that) Worth viewing, for sure. "Under and Alone" is recommended to read, too. Great book.
