Rockers Movie Review

Rockers, helmed with assurance by Theodoros Bafaloukos, is a fascinating first film, both for its lively reggae music, and for its intriguing variation on the Robin Hood theme. Leroy Wallace makes an engaging appearance as a broke drummer named Horse-mouth, who takes on a batch of rich crooks, with some help from his friends. Rockers is subtitled, rendering comprehensible the deeply accented English spoken in Jamaica. The soundtrack album is now a collector's item.
