Sid Vicious

Rating: 5/10 (13 January 2017)

It's a review: it may contain nuts, I mean spoilers. Green Room: a film where a decent enough punk band run up against some very nasty Nazis. It starts off interesting, you warm to the band as we learn about their characters, they play some punk music - the high point of the film being their rendition of Nazi Punks F...Off by the Dead Kennedys in front of a nazi skinhead audience. Though the film surprises us when their music actually goes down pretty well. And then things go wrong. There is some good one room tension in the next act of the film - it works great but beyond that this film will appeal if you really, really don't like punk bands or really, really like to see young people chewed up by vicious animals. The acting is great, faultless in fact. But it's a shame that the second half doesn't match the first unless you really, really don't like punk bands or really, really...Of course I may be missing something here in which case see it for yourself.
