The Dirt Reviews

To be honest, I have to admit that I don't know so much about Mötley Crüe (I think I did have a tape of them when I was a kid but I was much more interested in Guns and Roses and Iron Maiden at the time) but I was quite curious to see the story of this band and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, eventually, I thought it was not bad at all. Sure, it turned out to be a rather straightforward music biopic but I thought it was still fairly entertaining. Of course, the fact that I didn't know so much about this band probably helped. Still, even though the original line-up was all involved in producing this flick, they didn't sugarcoat anything. For example, Mötley Crüe has been pretty notorious for constantly being wild but also for doing some rather idiotic stunts and that's exactly what you get see in this flick. Of course, there is a fair chance that the relationships between the members of the group didn't go as smoothly as it was displayed in this flick. On the other hand, these guys remained (most of the time) together for a staggering 35 years in spite of their chaotic wild lifestyle which must mean something. Concerning the actors, they hired a bunch of fairly unknown actors but it made it easier to see them as Mötley Crüe and they were all gave some fairly decent performances. Anyway, to conclude, it turned out to be a decent watch and I think it is worth a look, especially if you are interested in Mötley Crüe.
