Review of Nomads

Nomads (1986)
1/10
Laugh Out Loud Ridiculous
5 April 2022
On top of bad acting and bad direction, the premise is only scary to the most sheltered suburbanite who saw a teenager kicking over a trash can and thought the world was going to hell.

Oh yes, these are "nomads." That means they are "primitive." That also means they are "dangerous" too, somehow. For some reason, never stated.

Basic premise is that homeless punk rock kids are somehow like tribal people. Get it? Homeless for a short time, gathering food from garbage or from handouts, equals the same as hunting animals and surviving as a people for centuries. Right....

And guess who they get to play a "punk nomad"? Adam Ant, the white Englishman who played Indian. Only his "Indians" were from old racist westerns, and he played them mixed with old movie pirate images.

So what do these supposed nomads do that is so scary and primitive? They skate...seriously, that's supposed to be so scary. They do a little bit of petty theft and minor vandalism.

That's it. A nothing movie.
