    around a drug called mist. Gary Lee is going to steralize anyone who uses

    Random gun fights and skating ensue.

     Sfx
     The special effets pretty much consisted of a bunch of gunfire and
     some bullet hits. They were good though. I don't think that this movie actually
     had enough skating stunts to qualify as an "Xtreme" movie; there were really          only about two scene where anyone did anythin more than jump over                    something. There is one cool scene though where Griffin closelines Gary Lee
     while they're skating.

     GORE
     A couple bullet hits               some random blood from gettin punched

     I learned
     At some point everyone in America will get stupid, barrow too much money,
            lose their homes, and end up making America a craptastic place to live
     It's possible, to jump, with rollerblades, over a truck bed
     To make an action scene more dramatic, film it entirely in SLOW-MO

       Bottom Line
       I could sum POTRB up as a teen flick with a few gun fights and chases
       thrown into the mix. I could and I will. I did find it kind of entertaining in
       a stupid way though. POTRB didn't much have anything original in forms of          plot, but it added "Xtreme" skating into the mix allowing for some                         enertaining scenes. Overall POTRB has many of the qualities of a bad movie;        dumb plot, bad acting, violence, and random scenes of nudity that all serve            no purpose. This is in no way a great movie mind you; but I found it an
       interesting enough diversion to qualify as a rental.
