The Doom Generation (1995) Reviewed

 

In one short scene, "The Doom Generation" justifies its existence.

DOOM GENERATION, THE (1995)
“Edgy” to the point of absurdity, Greg Araki’s “first heterosexual” film is grating in just about every regard. It’s basically a road movie. Rose McGowan, her tits and her boyfriend (James Duvall) end up driving a psychopath – but you know, the sexy kind — all around what’s presumably LA dodging the cops and maintaining a pretty steady crimespree. Trust me, that sounds better than it is. This movie was my introduction to Rose McGowan and it almost made me hate her – but then, about a third of the way into the movie, um…there’s this bathtub scene…and um- well, it’s at least worth an extra half a star. For lighter Araki fare see the far better Nowhere and Smiley Face.
