Despre acest film

London, 1997; the British music industry is on a winning streak. Britpop bands Blur, Oasis, Radiohead rule the airwaves and Cool Britannia is in full swing. 27-year-old hit chasing A&R man Steven Stelfox is slashing and burning his way through the music business, a world where careers are made and broken by chance and the fickle tastes of the general public. In an industry of dream-makers, Stelfox refuses to buy into the ‘dream’ – and despises anyone that does. Fueled by greed, ambition and inhuman quantities of drugs, Stelfox searches for his next hit record amid a relentless orgy of self-gratification. Created by an industry that demands success at any price, Stelfox takes the concept of ‘killer tunes’ to a murderous new level in a desperate attempt to salvage his career. Balanced against the backdrop of the music business and its characters, Stelfox is the ultimate anti-hero: chronically sexist, racist, and everything else-ist.

Lags a bit in the 3rd act, and I don't buy how he shut up the cop although solid try. The acting is good. I hope to see some of them again; the main guy is hot. Relating this to American Psycho is just inaccurate because that guy was unrelatable. The main character in this film is relateable, even if you can't admit it to yourself.

Brilliantly wicked of what was and is the music business in the 1990s. Best film I've seen in a good while.

Book was great and this was garbage. Not even remotely close as good as the book.
