dazski's rating
Charming little bit of early 90's nostalgia that deserves far more than the 3 out of 10 currently being offered up by IMDb users.
I can only assume that the people giving this film low ratings were not the people who were partying in the early 90's - if they were they'd be rating it far higher just from the nostalgia perspective.
Great soundtrack that pretty much corresponded chronologically (except for Kendo Nagasaki which was a much later track, but hey its a great track so who's complaining!!).
No where near as dark as Trainspotting and less schmaltzy than Human Traffic this is well worth a watch if you are looking for a trip down memory lane or if you fancy an glimpse of how it was.

What an absolute waste of 2 hours.
Implausible plot, over laboured and dull – if you plan to make your film 2 hours long please show the viewer some courtesy by making it interesting.
I chose to rent this film based on the splendid cast list however in this instance no one really excelled (which is probably due to the clunky script & poor direction) save for David Tennant who was barely used. However if I had to single someone out it would have to be Eddie Redmayne for his ever so slightly OTT / hammy performance.
Steven Poliakoff both wrote & directed this dire piece of cinema - so you would assume that he created his own vision - its not like a Director made a bad adaptation of good book, or vice versa.
I have deliberated over whether or not to rate this film as 1 or 2 out of 10.
I generously gave it 2.
