Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/5 --
A resolutely humorless (though sometimes unintentionally funny) Dutch movie about three young men who dream of finding fame and fortune in motorcycle racing and, instead, find themselves. The search is unrewarding and seems interminable.
New York Times
An unflinching drama, Spetters is as shocking as any other film in the Verhoeven cannon and bares comparison with his best native movies such as Soldier Of Orange.

in these young men's stories, as they become caught up in a collision of older and newer values, you can also see the painful emergence of the Dutch nation from its own Calvinist, homophobic, colonialist past.

Rating: 3/4 --
[Verhoeven] demonstrates his penchant for startling visuals, explicit sex, and graphic violence, though his intelligent direction is anything but careless or irresponsible.

Remember when Paul Verhoeven made good movies?
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Imagine a Mike Leigh film set in Holland with motorbike stunts, packed with authentic action sequences and sexual frankness...

Product Description:
Amid the muddy world of motocross, four young people in Holland find themselves on a turbulent collision course with their own dreams and aspirations, encountering violent and sexual revelations along the way. Superbly shot by cinematographer-turned-director Jan De Bont.
