disappointing
I saw this film in the local DVD hire shop and thought 'wow' this looks good acid house music, 1990, the guy out of Eden lake, it should be good. This film could have been amazing,there were too many anachronisms (the phone box, the bank notes, the vehicles that can be seen on the Amsterdam scene and the majority of the soundtrack! notably Nakasaki from 1995 ). The warehouse scenes were poor, no gurners, no sweaters no wide eyed crazy dancers. The costumes could have been better I was expecting acid face t shirts, shell suits, baggy jeans and some curtains or mushroom haircuts. On the plus side I liked Dylan's hair do, the acting was good from the main characters, John the rat and his mob looked the part. younger audiences will probably enjoy this but as someone who was around in 1990 wearing a shell suit and listening to tunes on a Walkman I wanted more.
