I have no doubt Swagger of Thieves will be regarded as not just a great Kiwi doco but also one of the world's great rock documentaries. Boshier has made one of the finest documentaries this country has produced. It's dirty. It's raw. It's rock'n'roll. **- Karl Puschmann. New Zealand Herald.** It made my eyes water, to be honest. Me. A hardened journalist, who has seen a lot of distressing things during a long career in the media trenches. But the sight of something so vulnerable and tender in close contact with something so sharp and dangerous, well... I had to take a few deep breaths. **- Grant Smithies. Sunday Star Times.** It's a film about addiction, death, theft and betrayal. About wounds and feuds that have never been healed. About appalling behaviour, chances squandered and people used and discarded. The title is savagely appropriate. **- Graeme Tuckett. Stuff.** Swagger of Thieves is a masterpiece in film making - watching this made me realize that in a perfect world you get the band-doco you deserve. This is truly and utterly Head Like a Hole, it's dirty and real - full of tensions and delusions but with a strange magic attached. **- Simon Sweetman. Off the Tracks.** It's an astonishing film. It's rugged and raw, and emotional journey for anyone with even a passing remembrance of the 90's rock act who formed in 1992. **-Chris Schulz. New Zealand Herald.**
