As much as I love punk music, I have to say that I have yet to see a punk biopic that really wows me. Even SID AND NANCY couldn't do the trick for me. Perhaps it is better to be heard and not seen. And when a movie came out about The Germs, one of the most underrated groups. It was a must see.WHAT WE DO IS SECRET depicts the story of the Los Angeles based group, the Germs, and notably their lead singer Darby Crash. In their short career, they made only one album and started riots at there show.I was not a fan on how the film was executed. It was a semi-documentary, where Darby Crash's band mates (who were really, the actors in the film) discuss the infamous singer. I could never really take that pseudo-documentary style, either do a documentary.The portrayals of the band members is probably the only thing that redeemed this film. It really did capture the punk spirit of the late 70s, just badly executed. For die-hard Germs fans only.
