I am so excited about this movie and very glad to see Shane West in this type of role. This is absolutely amazing work. Everyone should see this film. It is also wonderful that a younger generation will get to see the history behind The Germs and learn about a band that should and will now have a chance to be recognized. This film is long overdue but very much welcomed by myself. The music is mind blowing and the acting is superb. There is so much realism with the scenes of addiction and the struggles the band went through. This is definitely a movie for my generation and many others to enjoy and experience to the fullest. It's made easy to enjoy by the great group of actors involved and their impressive work in this movie.
