The Doom Generation
Jordan White and Amy Blue, two troubled teens, pick up an adolescent drifter, Xavier Red. Together, the threesome embarks on a sex- and violence-filled journey through a United States of psychos and quickie marts.
Critics Sentiment
Neo-Nazis brutally attack the trio in the warehouse
Multiple violent encounters across Los Angeles with mistaken identities
The film drops to its lowest point during the repetitive middle violence before surging dramatically upward for the climactic neo-Nazi attack sequence.
The Doom Generation starts strong with stylish transgressive energy that reviewers found compelling, but sags significantly in its repetitive middle act where the violence feels empty and monotonous. The film redeems itself with a genuinely shocking and thematically powerful climax that most critics acknowledged as effective filmmaking, even if they questioned the journey to get there.
