The show One Percent starts with a blue between two clubs, sparked by a simpleton wanting money for a new bike, or possibly just to impress his mates. So he steals from another gang. Turns out this simpleton's actions are the source of almost all the problems, and escalations, in this hard to pin down, gritty Aussie back suburbs story. That's a problem for me. It doesn't make sense that this simpleton should know anything about anything that would put him in a position to make trouble. Surely a serious bikie club would exclude such a fellow from any serious information? The movie goes on to reveal a returning boss with a very violent and worrying vice, a cunning rival boss whom holds the simpleton's life as a bargaining chip for a sweet deal, two highly manipulative and territorial women, and, of course, the good guy, whom tries to hold all this dubious and debauched material to a higher standard. To best describe it, it's as if an episode of Bikie Wars (2012) was resurrected, along with a tougher Matt Nable, only now everyone is more uptight, and crueler. As a drama it's certainly entertaining. There is a terrific amount of pressure and tension. This might have been eased if more trust and gratitude had been shown, or a closer eye on the simpleton. It's really not easy to like most of these people who have created their own world, but you have to respect their bravery. One Percent is a tragedy, and has a lot to say about life on the edge of society. This is gritty and highly charged emotional Aussie drama.

Sordid and dangerous underbelly
not worth watching
Outlaws is the most forgettable A24 films I've seen so far. The acting is good, but that's really the best I can say. This film drags horribly, there isn't really that much of a plot, and it's not engaging. The editing and the general flow is bothersome and it's really just a chore to get through. The screenplay is just all over the place, it doesn't have much of a focus, and it's not really cohesive. I rate Outlaws a 2/10.
Very well acted
As good as outlaw Mc gang movies get. good character development. I actually cared about the Characters. Knuck is a mean sob.
