Not quite

Rating: Null/10 (4 July 2010)

To be honest, I expected this movie to be only a middle of the road offering and that's essentially all it is in the end.
Watching and listing to it, I couldn't help but feel like there was so much missing on multiple levels that it became a very frustrating experience to sit through it.
Is it shocking? Hardly. Should it have been? It would have helped.
There's nothing in the film that's anywhere near "in your face" as you'd expect, based on the music, other than Michael Shannon's most awesome performance.
I've seen a LOT of films about rock bands - some fictional and some real, and this I'm afraid pales in comparison to not only ANY great film, but all those that attempt to depict the personalities involved.
