Raw and different a film of mind numbing and physical pain. All while trying to get great!

Rating: 8/10 (21 January 2015)

Finally saw "Whiplash" I must say it's one film that takes a look at what's it's like of trying to gain success and conquer your own working demons all while trying to please yourself and others. The film has Miles Teller as Andrew who's a young up and coming want to be drummer who after enrolling in a music school finds that life behind the drum is tough. It's when Andrew sees that his march to the beat of his own drum instructor Fletcher(J.K. Simmons in a very deviant and sadistic like teacher role and maybe his best performance)is one not to play with as the note and key must strike to his hand right on the drum! It's a pain taking task as you will see Andrew play the drums till his fingers bleed! Overall okay film about toughness, sacrifice, discipline, and coming to terms of your own success and failure while meeting the expectations of others.
