An Intense Piece of Film that is sure to Delight all Moviegoers,

Rating: 9/10 (13 June 2015)

Whiplash is an fantastic movie with a really well developed storyline and an outstanding cast. I was in shock and awe throughout, it is a very intense film as we get a very deep look inside the life of a young man wanting to make a career in playing the drums, there are many scenes that are so powerful that I found myself not taking my face away from the screen for one second, not even blinking, I don't want to spoil any of these but I will just say that there is nothing like them in any other movie. I think we could have been given information about Fletcher, I know that we are following Andrew, but I would have liked to known some more about Fletcher's past and what made him turn out this way, it would have made J.K. Simmons performance even more substantial than it already is. The performances made this movie, as it is one that would have been terrible without great acting, J.K. Simmons and Miles Teller hit it out of the park, I was always saw Simmons as a versatile actor, but he was never really given roles where he could really shine, he is given that opportunity in this and uses it to full effect, he is terrifying and in a strange way very likable, Teller also delivers a spectacular performance, particularly in parts where his character lashes out, and he clearly put in some serious drum lessons, which is very impressive. Dramatic, intense and all around outstanding, three Oscars dosen't lie, I would recommend Whiplash to all moviegoers.
After enrolling in a music conservatory, a young man aspiring to become a drummer is challenged by his mentor to be the very best he can be, at whatever step it may take.
Best Performance: J.K. Simmons
