It was okay but needed some work. The link between the war and the far right wasn't made good use of and seemed pointless to me. I didn't buy the way the guys spoke to each other and the overemotional conversations. Not in the 80s anyway.

The far right views were not challenged, and there wasn't much made of the nazism itself though I suppose that was a side story.

We should have seen what happened with Woody after Combo took over. It's like he just dissapears into a big plot hole.

I didn't get that big girl seducing the little boy. I seriously didn't buy that.

And the Milky character baffled me. I see where he would have hung out with Woodys bunch but hanging out with Combo and making nice? No way! Also that scene near the end (won't spoil it) was obviously coming and building up and if Milky couldn't see that then he's dumb!
