With all of the mystery around Thunders' death and the long tradition of rock 'n' mythos, why not lean into it? The movie only flirts with such a notion, ultimately choosing to overexplain everything.

Rated: 5/10

The Cordero brothers [ Fernando Cordero Caballero and Vicente Cordero], directing, show a real understanding of the special unpleasantness of methadone and methadone withdrawal.

So dumb. I wasted 100 minutes of my life on this hackneyed jumble of cliches. Or maybe I'm just dumb. I didn't get it.

Once you accept how ridiculous it is it's pretty enjoyable.

I went with 2 1/2 stars with this movie, I only seen it once and I would watch it again. I liked how they showed the real pics./music of Johnny T. in the movie. I felt really bad for him, for a underground type movie it was pretty good. I thought that it had good acting and story etc... Anyone that is a fan should watch this movie. I wanted to watch this movie for a while now and just got around to seeing it 2 1/2 stars. Interesting to think what percent of this movie is truth and what is for entertainment purposes only.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
