This is one of the best rock and roll films ever made. It has a stellar cast which includes Michael Pare, Tom Berenger, Joe Pantoliano, and Ellen Barkin... in one of their very first roles. This is the film that made their careers. You can see the great promise in each of them and see great things ahead for each... well almost. Watching this film you can only feel sorry for Michael Pare and the B-movie roles he has lately gotten himself into.
The score is really what drives this movie. John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown band does Bruce Springsteen better than Bruce does himself. This of course is not to detract from the well structured script which plays on the "Jim Morrison lives" myth (with the character of Eddie Wilson as the Morrison substitute).
All in all, this film will keep you on the edge of your seat, singing away, until the movie's surprise ending. Not to be missed.
