Needless to say, no one will exit "Street Survivors" humming the absent "Free Bird," or being very high on flight at all.

Feels like viewing only the dramatic reenactment parts of a far more interesting documentary, and being left with a movie that could easily be categorized as plane crash-sploitation.

Rated: .5/4

The casting for the movie is actually very good ... However, the film's direction and tone go back and forth between being hokey and suspenseful ... It's hard to imagine a lot of people loving this movie, because so much of it is disturbing to watch.

It's tacky and self-aggrandizing, while conveying nothing about what made Skynyrd's music so brilliant in the first place.

Rated: C-

An ordinary person who just like to watch movies can notice that this one is not that well produced, i'm talking about major aspects, like casting, acting and screenplay but also minor things like camera work, audio edit, etc. HOWEVER, the movie is not meant to be a Hollywood super-production. It's just a story telled in a movie, from a guy's perspective, that's all. Verdict: it's not a well produced movie, but it does entertain and tell you what you want to know.

For what it wants to convey, the movie it's nice, also pretty emotional in some points. There's not so much depth in the representation of the characters, except for the main one, Artimus, and the lead singer Van Zant (and also in these cases, the psychological features could have been done better, maybe in a less shallow way). The special effects didn't seem the top to me, but they aren't even so bad. In the end, the movie is pretty pleasant, not a masterpiece, but if you want to knwo what happened that sad day in seventies and you're a fan of the band, then watch it, it's worth it.

At times the movie went overboard to make a point. Any Skynyrd fan knew the drugs and booze and the emphasis on that in the movie got a little tedious. The scene with the snake crossing the swamp is another example of the producers trying too hard in my opinion, when anyone watching I'm sure had the initial thoughts already. Not much in the movie by way of really getting to know the members in the band. Just scenes that give way to forming an opinion. In the end no fan knows for certainty what exactly happened surronding the events that unfolded that fateful day with Artemis. If you aren't familiar with the band this is one perspective and a way to learn more in addition to other documentaries and books etc. What everyone does know for certain is Artemis was a member of a great original band whose music will long endure beyond this movie.
