Loved watching the movie and overall acting with the typical Rotterdam 90's vibe around it. For Dutch people it might be more interesting then others. The plot was good but the storyline just didn't finish and ended abruptly. It left me with some questions I would have liked answered. Jim Deddes (Danny) was a pleasure to watch. Good overall casting. I was happy to see that there where no typical Dutch actors like you would see in a lot of Dutch movies. There is enough in this for a part two, but I think a part two would ruin it. Overall, great intense crime movie with some insight into the gabber culture.

The name really doesn't cover the load of this movie. Yes, the Dutch gabber scene acts as a glue for the story but the movie is more a coming of age and family drama.

I wasn't familiar with the actors but they did an excellent job. Especially Jim Deddes as Danny (reference to Vinyard from American History X?). He really did remind me of my brother back in the days, and as in American History X his little brother in this movie looks up to his brother while he actually shouldn't, albeit for different reasons.

The only thing that bothered me were the insanely stupid choices the Danny character made.

For international audiences, skinheads in this movie are not like American ones, it was style of the subculture like the Nikes and Australian tracksuits.

In that regard the director also did an amazing job portraying Netherlands of the 90s. So well I felt nostalgia for most of the film.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes a good family drama, but especially to Dutch people or the ones that liked or still like the rave scene.

Hardcore never dies, what a wonderful film, really enjoyed by myself as a hardcore fan. The atmosphere of the 90s has been created phenomenally. The acting is also really top class with a nice dose of humor. Ultimately it is more of a crime film and the focus could have been more on the gabber scene, but for now I really enjoyed it! Wonderfull musictracks pass by. Dutch heritage that still travels all over the world, something to proud off.

If you are familiar with the hardcore/gabber scene and enjoy the music then it is a must to go see this movie. And yes it is true, we are living in 2023 and hardcore still remains so i guess Hardcore Will Never Die!
