10.0Yeah, it's not the best movie. It could actually be a lot better... but it is entertaining as all.... heck? Even if you aren't hip to the whole skater thing, this is a seriously fun movie to watch in the cheap 80s action/adventure kind of way. It has a compelling enough police drama vide, even if most of the action is centered around skateboarding... which is also fun to watch. I honestly think a lot of the distaste comes from the fact that it is capitalizing on what was, in the 80s, seen as a passing fad. But the story is still solid for what it is. It has a good message about family…
