SpecialsTarget Disturbing yet enthralling

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

ortek-584-767998 First saw the actors involved at a Rhuddlan Castle concert in N. Wales a few years ago, where there was a surprise filming for the movie's final scene, and then got to see the preliminary version in the past year where most of the plot was revealed.Have since seen the UK Premiere of the final version at a film festival in Wrexham, followed by the official Gala Premiere with the cast, Director and the band in attendance in Leicester Square.It is mainly based on the infamous 45rpm, which got worldwide press coverage when Mike Peters of The Alarm got airplay for them on age-prejudiced radio stations by pretending to be a latest new band so that their song got listened too rather than instantly condemned because the band were 'all over 30' Many amusing moments and everyone comes through winning at the end to give a feel good feeling.A great range of actors, from the well-known veterans of other classic British films, to newly discovered talents who are now getting good recognition. And the inspirational Mike Peters also gets a cameo appearance Also a great Soundtrack, mostly all from Mike Peters, that fits in well with the film's scenes Really deserves it be a hit, alongside similar classic British movies that might be done on a low budget but have considerable realism .Free Rock and Roll...

recordsocrwriter Vinyl is just a fun movie. The movie is fantastic and you can tell it was a labor of love to get this film made. No, it's not going to win an Academy Award (well, maybe for the soundtrack), but what's wrong with 90 minutes of good entertainment and a story that will have you leaving the theater with a smile on your face? I was fortunate enough to attend the American premiere in New York City. Back then, distribution was seen as a major issue. It's good to see the film is getting on some screens in the UK. I'd certainly like to go see it again and hope it can get on some screens here in the States. I was lucky enough to talk to director Sara Sugarman and -- unlike what the twit at the bottom of the screen said -- found her to be utterly charming. You could see the dedication and sacrifice she put in to get this film made.Go see this movie!

psimm66 Whats not to like about this great film? The soundtrack? Phil Daniels? Perry Benson? Seeing the music biz being caught with their pants down? That last notion is worthy enough as a plot for a movie but watching the story unfold with Phil Daniels leading the charge, as only he can with his 100mph attack on life, makes this tidy little film truly worthy of your time watching it. The story will make you laugh, it may make you cry and it will definitely leave you feeling good and glad you watched it. It is a fun caper that never takes its self too seriously yet succeeds in showing all of us that rock n roll should always be 'by the people, for the people and of the people'. If you grew up in the 70s or 80s you will love it and many of its touch points. If you are still "growing up" watch and learn. FREE ROCK N ROLL

panchita_jones I recently watched this film at the Newport Beach Film Festival. It is such a fun story with great music and acting. A lot of fresh new faces. I love when the underdog triumphs, as in this story. I'm sure there are a lot of guys out there like this main character: searching for recognition and acknowledgment in an industry obsessed with youth.You don't have to love punk music to love this movie. I was surprised to learn from the director, writers and producer at the Q&A afterward that this was all based on a true story about The Alarm and Mike Peters. It wasn't even over yet and I wanted to watch it again!I hope this film has a wider distribution in the United States. I'm not sure if or when there is a general release date.
