This movie traces the steps of Ray Grange who quites his dead end job as a shop clerk to become a roadie for legendary punk band The Clash. Set against a backdrop of the Brixton race riots and counter neo-nazi demonstrations, Ray Grande's narrative of a man with no future makes compelling viewing.

Rude Boy is a slice of British culture. Re issued as a special edition following the sad loss of Joe Strummer, this is quintessentially a product of the era that created Jubilee, Great Rock and Roll Swindle, etc. This works best if you were a) around in 77, and b) a fan of The Clash. As a snapshot of the Punk movement, this works. As a movie, more importantly, a dvd, this falls short of the mark.
