Reviews

"The script provides a clear line, and so what is offered is hardly boring except for a few exceptions. Individual problems of friends with each other and so many conversation are tiring, but the film makes through the humor and some interesting and playful camera settings for it. The performers in this country are all unknown, but can still give a good and convincing performance. The only AC / DC fans who are hoping for a lot of music of their heroes are likely to be disappointed, because except at the beginning of the film there is hardly sounds from the rockers to hear. "
