Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

The film opens with a man getting his rocks off to a woman tied in a chair. Cue credits...Jack (Thomas Dekker) and his sister Hayley (Emily Browning) are famous dark rock musicians. Hayley gets married to Carter (Cam Gigandet) a nice guy journalist and they have twins. Jack meanwhile OD. Enzo (Xavier Samuel) who is obsessed with their music, replaces Jack in the band. It isn't long before the formulaic infidelity and with Enzo becoming too dark for Hayley...and oh, they tie back into the beginning in a most boring way.The lack of originality made this thriller, lacking for real thrills. Okay rental.Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, brief nudity (Emily Browning)

A thriller about a stalker? That's normally my cup of tea. So I thought I was going to have an enjoyable evening with this movie. But then it started with that more then annoying music. I thought that it was just the intro of the movie and that we would get into the story in a second. But no, after 20 - 30 minutes the bitch was still singing and it's the kind of music where I need a bucket next to my couch. So I was about to give up and turn it off, a thing that I hardly ever do, but then the story was kind of starting bit by bit. The end was much better then the beginning so that's why I gave it a 5 star rating. If it was just for the first half hour then it would get 1 star. The actors were not that bad, it was just that annoying music that bugged me. Worth a watch but that's about it.

Maybe I am just getting too old, but this seems like a flick for moody teen wanna be rock stars. Cam Gigandet and Dawn Olivieri are the only people that add any substance to this disaster. Their contributions are drowned in a sea of dark infant edginess. Elizabeth Pena and Francis Fisher play such small roles that they are not allowed to really support them. It is almost sad to see two veteran actresses get caught in this web and have to take a backseat to immaturity. The film made less than $3,000 from what IMDb says. Apparently I am not alone in not liking this movie. IMDb says this review has to contain at least 10 lines of text but I find myself having trouble writing any more. I have liked Catherine Hardwicke's other works but this one seems juvenile and underdeveloped. Maybe she can stop living in the past and user her vision to evolve into something more.

This film tells the story of a young woman in a rock band with her brother. After her brother died of drug overdose, a guitarist is hired to be a part of the band. Unfortunately, the guitarist turns out to be a freak. The story then concentrates on how she deals with the drastic consequences.The plot is thrilling and well told. There are some clues to the freaky guitarist in the beginning but they are quite subtle, so the story is not spoilt. Emily Browning gives a good performance as a rock chick, and the guitarist is convincing too. The husband, played by Cam Gigandet, is not so convincing though, but that's a minor problem. I also like the songs too, and I can feel the filmmakers' respect for music because the songs are played in its entirety. I liked "Plush" and enjoyed it.
