Bra Boys Mark Mathews (big wave nut) and Richie Vaculik (MMA freak) ride dik waves and klap each other senseless. Australia's never looked so peaceful. Talk about adrenaline overload. This film is soaked in it.

FIGHTING FEAR

Australia 2011 Video HD, 86min
Director: Macario de Sousa
Cast: Mark Mathews, Richie Vaculik

Two badass Bra Boys go bos in a gripping docu-drama. Bone crushing action and hardcore jols are every day for best brus Mark Mathews (big wave hero) and Richie Vaculik (MMA freak). They push the limits. Then it goes horribly pear-shaped. Can they pull it back? De Sousa co-directed Bra Boys. Parental Guidance.

Amazing surfing apart, the ous in Lavender Hill would make the Bra Boys thugery look like a bunch of private school boy scouts playing pin the tail on the donkey at their sunday picnic.

Apologies for not being as self-righteous, but I reckon it looks entertaining.

What it seems to indicate is that the dude went to prison for violence... well that's exactly right and where violent people belong. Thuggery should not be glamorised.

Agreed. Looks more like a massive ego trip than surfing massive waves. Not for me.

Yet another utterly predictably docu-drama that idealises thuggery, localism and the Bra Boys with redemptive themes of friendship, brotherhood, MMA and surfing. I wouldn't be surprised if this waste of celluloid spews Shakespeare's King Henry V "Band of Brothers" speech to romanticise their violent antics as no more than an urban manifestation of the "Way of the Warrior". Surely there are bigger surfing heroes out there than these two yobs!
