Atrocious

Rating: 1/10 (2 October 2013)

I saw this movie when it first came out, while on a date. I'm not going to give away any plot points because that would first require a plot. Here, I'll save everyone's money and time. A while back ago, there was a ship that played music that was considered illegal. Boom. There you go. You're welcome. That's all you need. You just saw the movie.
It runs about 2 hours long, and it feels like 5 hours. My date and I both wanted to walk out, but having paid the outrageous price of movie tickets nowadays, we couldn't bring ourselves to it.
Very seldom do I hate a movie, but I hated Pirate Radio. I honestly can't say a single redeeming quality of the movie. More than once during this torturous cinema did I feel like walking up and punching the screen while yelling obscenities. I honestly would've felt better if some criminal came by and robbed me of my 14 dollars prior to seeing this. At least then the money would've likely gone to a better cause than supporting the studio that green-lit this film.
It's movies this bad that make me want to take a hammer to my fingernails just so I have an excuse to leave. I understand that it could just not be my cup of tea, and some people like this type of movie that lacks a plot. I'd compare this to "Waiting", or "Dazed and confused". One of those movies where it's 90% dialog and, 5% people doing stuff, and 5% plot.
This is one of 3 or 4 movies I've seen that totally deserves 1 star.
