SPOILERS...First five minutes were a sobfest especially as I was the same age as the main character when Columbine occurred. I can still remember how much that tragedy effected my generation. And still today so much gun violence, so sad and tragic. I now know why I had never heard of this movie before. Despite the movie being about music and fame the beginning of it probably struck a chord in 2018. However despite the not so great pop songs I liked the movie. Was definitely an emotional rollercoaster. Also it was very emo artzy for being so representative of pop culture. I pretty much will watch anything with Jude Law in it and found his and Portman's roles pretty good in the movie. The young actresses were decent as well. If you're into pop music, emo life, and celebrity you'll at least like the movie.

It wasn't bad and it wasn't fantastic, it fell somewhere in the middle. I'll watch Karl Urban in pretty much anything so I went in with the mindset of a fan. I didn't like how they had two separate stories going on it kinda made the film have a disconnecting feel. However I did like both storylines. I would have liked them as two separate movies...that actually would have been a great idea. I liked Urban's acting hence the 6/10 stars. But for the movie itself I'd say 5.5 or at most a 6 would be acceptable too. I liked Urban's grit. I didn't guess the ending so that was something else that made the movie decent. I'd recommend it if you're a Karl Urban or Andy Garcolia fan otherwise it's just another B rated cop movie with some plot disconnect.

Ok first off I'm a major Karl Urban fan. I thought he did the best acting out of the whole cast in the movie. The movie had me guessing on who the bad guy was. I did wish we'd have seen more about his wife etc. And of course the actual ending threw me for a loop. I still want to know the answer. Yes it was rather typical and not well plotted but if you're a fan of Karl Urban or Pacino it's worth watching. I liked seeing Urban in a major role again.
