You'll never look at drums the same way again

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2015)

This film is what the movie experience is all about. You must see this in a theater to get the benefit of the sound - which is key - and the immersion of being in a room where the story is the only thing going on without distractions. Simmons and Miles "inhabited" their roles. The tension in this story began in the first five minutes, and did not relent until the credits rolled. As the lights came up, we three viewers turned to each other and said "WOW" simultaneously. We went to this film with no expectations, but had read other reviews that were glowing. Based on them alone, we took a chance. SO MUST YOU.
The acting is so fierce at one moment, and then so subtle in the next. These characters are extreme studies of what is takes to be "one of the greatest". You will be thinking about it for days.
