An Excellent movie/documentary. If you surf you will love this film. It has great ups and downs and will keep you on the edge of your seat. Some of the waves surfed in the film such as "Ours" and "Cyclops" some of the heaviest waves in the the world. A great Aussie film!

Rudimentarily made as documentaries go--and more than a touch self-glorifying at times--Bra Boys is nevertheless intriguing for its insider's perspective of an outsider culture steeped in tradition, male-bonding rituals, and intense localism. Full Review

The contrast between grainy videos of street fights and gorgeous scenes of the same boys conquering enormous waves is simultaneously inspiring and sad. Imagine a world in which gang members looked forward to singing in the Sunday choir. Full Review

Partly a straightforward surf movie with impressive wave-catching footage. However, other sections track the legal troubles of Jai Abberton, a Bra Boy who was tried and acquitted of murder. This makes for an often fascinating but awkward mix. Full Review

This crude, rowdy movie is also unexpectedly touching in its embrace of surfing as an escape from the stigma of poverty and broken homes. Escape from Russell Crowe's droning narration, however, is impossible. Full Review

The film is narrated by Russell Crowe, whose star power is probably the only reason it's being released here. Full Review
