Review of SLC Punk!

I thought SLC Punk! was an alright movie, but nothing terribly exciting. It has a somewhat interesting story and has some pretty good acting. There were a few times where the filming absolutely drove me insane (for instance near the beginning of the film, when Heroin-Bob is standing up and talking to Stevo while Stevo is laying on the ground looking up at him). The way it was filmed was just awful, there was way too many film cuts that shouldn't have been there. I can't figure out what kind of effect the director was trying to get there, but it just angered me. I don't think it's a good idea if you're paying more attention to the editing than the dialog that's being said. Anyhow, there wasn't a lot of this kind of filming, so it didn't bother me enough to ruin my movie-watching experience.

All in all, it was a pretty good movie. There was some good comedy in the film as well, and a lot of unexpected things. I definitely wouldn't say this film is for everyone, it is a very odd movie. I'm not even sure what kind of person would or wouldn't like this, so I don't know what to tell you if you haven't already seen this. I guess I'd say give it a chance and see what you think, but don't have too high of expectations.

Thanks for reading.
