I don't know what the other reviewers of this film were smoking when they watched it, but Rude Boy does not give any sort of an accurate representation of the political climate in England during the time of filming. In addition to that the storyline is so convoluted that there are only two clear ideas in the story. A) That Mick Jones is a prick. and B) That Rude Boy Ray is a drunk. That's it. Oh by the way, there's also some second movie within the movie about this black guy who gets nicked by the law. But that must not be important because it doesn't actually go anywhere and has nothing to do with The Clash. And the National Front have a cameo, too. That is perhaps the best part. And the live tracks are pretty impressive as well. My Opinion: Go to your friend's house and watch it. If you like it, pirate it. If you really like it, buy it. **1/
