Editorial Reviews

Anthony ‘Blest’ (Mark Webber) is one of the most talented and notorious graffiti artists in New York City. Despite the tragic loss of his older brother during a nightly 'bombing' foray with a graffiti crew, Anthony has the same insatiable addiction. With the other members of his ‘crew,’ Anthony parties, shoplifts spray-paint and 'tags' virgin walls with his signature 'Blest.' He does his best to avoid run-ins with the cops and hostile rival crews, but he can’t avoid the pressure from his mother to attend college, and from his girlfriend to leave New York with her. As tensions rise, a physical threat from the cops causes the crew to intensify their bombing excursions, calling an all out war on the city. When the inevitable confrontation happens, a tragedy results that pushes Anthony to make a decision that has even darker consequences.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Film, December 28, 2005

Wow,,, after watching this movie I was really impressed. The filming is great and the story line is fantastic. The plot isn't all that realistic but the setting is. The soundtrack is a good fit for the film and the artwork is good. People interested in the underground artwork community will love this as well as serious writers.
Overall I was extremely satisfied with this film and would recommend it too most.

This review is from: Bomb the System (DVD)

I really enjoyed the act of sitting down and watching this film.If you have a big enough screen (or sit close enough to the television) this film will take you on a fun visual and thematic roller coaster right of emotions and stimuli. I don't know much about graffitti, but the main character and the visuals really drew me in. The story-line wasn't shakespearian in complexity and originality, but it did what it was supposed to do (and I think bringing in aliens or a vast govermental conspiracy would have been a bit distracting anyway).

Even if you aren't into the film at all, if you find the main actor as attractive as I do you might just as well go out and buy the film anyway:p

5.0 out of 5 stars changed my perspective, October 21, 2005

This review is from: Bomb the System (DVD)

i must admit, i was pretty close-minded when it came to the "art" of graffiti. i considered it vandalism that destroyed and disrespected the orignal beauty of a building, wall, school, etc. however, this movie really helped me see past the stereotype that all graffiti art is fueled by egos and impulsive behavior. it provided a good argument for the portrayal of graffiti as a showcase of authentic emotion and undying pride. im thankful that this movie has given me the opportunity to see something like graffiti from a different perspective. if anything, see this movie for the enlightenment and ability to understand a different lifestyle. this movie made a huge impact on my perspective, and i actually consider the story that may be behind a random tag on the wall. basically: highly recommended.
