4.0 out of 5 stars A different twist in the coming of age saga..., February 21, 2010

This review is from: Shank (Amazon Instant Video)
A poignant reminder that in the 21st century, post Ellen and post Will and Grace time, there are still people for whom struggling with their sexuality and coming out is a painful and sometimes life threatening situation. An all too often truth about inner city youth around the globe. The story is filled with an extreme amount of violence and unfortunately it is not hard to believe that there are people struggling in situations like this every day.
I am glad that I watched it and would gladly recommend it to a friend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome movie, August 7, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Shank (Amazon Instant Video)
Awesome, awesome.

Wayne Virgo's performance is absolutely fantastic. The story line is perfect, and this is not your run of the mill gay love story.

It helps the guys are hot and there's plenty of very well-done sex scenes, but you stop caring about that half way through.

5.0 out of 5 stars Coming Out Movie But With Lots of Violence, January 30, 2010
This review is from: Shank - Rated (DVD)
The opening credits is very different, but you need to watch it. Remember, it is a made in England so might be strange at first, but is well worth the effort. This is truly a story which could happen in almost any country and am am sure really has happened often. The acting is very good with violence, sex and a mix of both throughout the movie. Be prepared for strange twists in the story line as they make the movie better as it is view. Love, hate and love/hate are all part of this fine movie. Watch it. You will be glad you did.
