OBEY takes place in London at the time of the London riots that occurred in 2011. The film centers on Leon, who spends time with his friends who are up to no good (drinking, smoking, stealing and getting high off balloons), while also having to take care of his alcoholic mess of a mother, and dealing with her addict abusive boyfriend. He spends time boxing to let off steam. At a party he meets the pretty Twiggy, who is different from his friends, and soon spends time with her and her boyfriend.
This film shows the complex life that Leon has, and shows how the riots affect him and his friends.There is a lot of violence (mostly when showing the fictional police riots), so some people may not like it, but I enjoyed this film. I did want to see more of a resolution at the end. I came to care and worry about Leon, so I did want to see more of a resolution at the end.
