Gareth Alexander The Sun (UK) It makes for a powerful and well-made documentary and anyone with a passing interest in the genre should watch it for an insight into the world of the punk rocker. Rated: 5/5 Sep 14, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A disorganized mess of a documentary, that feels more authentic, due to the subject matter. It's a rough, tough and haggard window into a musical scene who's influence will forever be felt. While it can feel disjointed and more like a concert video at times, it's only that way when put up against today's more polished and formulaic documentary style. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/26/22 Full Review Audience Member It's odd that this isn't more well known given some of the fantastic footage Kowalski got. There's spectacular footage of the Sex Pistols' American tour and an interview with Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen that Gary Oldman and Chloe Webb clearly watched many times (it will astonish you just how dead on Webb was). There's also great performance footage from X-Ray Spex, Sham 69 and Generation X. The film itself is a bit too ragged and disorganized, but really, shouldn't it be? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Thirrty years after the original, someone decides to remake the case of the man who was being slowly murdered by a toxin, except he's a professor this time. The film noir roots are still there. Worth getting for nostalgia for the original. Remade 7 years later and turned into a different but equally interesting movie.
