Anybody else waiting for this to come out?

Based on the true story of the formation of the Outlaws MC, Tom Hardy & Austin Butler amongst other actors. As a biker I'm looking forward to it, just hoping the trailer isn't better than the actual movie.

IMO, America has an unhealthy obsession with glamorizing outlaws as some kind of rebels against the system, the misunderstood, underdogs.

The reality, they’re just thugs, who control through group intimidation and violence, treat various sectors of society like dirt. They’re not bikers, they are criminals, using bikes as pretence of freedom.

I have 2/3 friends, 2 of them are in HA support clubs and one is a HA prospect, I also years ago used to get tattoos done by a guy from the Outlaws in Wales. I obviously dont mention this to my HA friends, I say friends more like people I have had dealings with in the past, garage or gym related.

But yeh I'm of no illusion that they are saints.

Anybody seen it then? a work colleague said he enjoyed it and a few people I know from a motorbike group (Triumph owners) said they enjoyed it as well.

Think it all depends if your into what the film is about.

Got round to watching it at the weekend, I think the trailers made it look a little more exciting than it actually was, I'd probably say 6.5/10 overall. I didn't feel like id wasted 2 hours, maybe watch it once more in a year or so but at the same time it wasn't as action packed as id hoped.

I'm hoping that they do make a prequel to Sons of Anarchy.
