About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, pulpy rock-fame story with drugs, sex, and a devilish edge; Not for you if you hate cliché-heavy musician dramas or want subtle storytelling like Her Smell.

Pros: energetic rock-and-roll vibe; fun cult appeal; decent soundtrack | Cons: heavy clichés; uneven acting; messy story choices
