    Mindnumbingly bumm bumm boring

    110 minutes ok roadies are maybe more about the feels but this had very few to none also the humour is very subtle and flat like a high person saying "hey there was a fish" or a drunk person throwing up a few times, i didn't have one laugh the whole movie. The last 20 minutes were excruciantingly slow torturing since i found out it doesn't try to convey a message or has no finale just that his roadie lifestyle is in a way repetitive as his charity work before. On his way he has a little romance which also is very random and felt empty unrealistic even cold. In some scenes his madness/illness flares up but nothing follows. A waste of the cast some actors are good but this barely showcased them. The Soundtrack was good and had many great 90s Techno songs but i am unsure if they even wanted to relieve these days from the Ravers since they didn't try by expressive neon colorful clothing, whistles,plateau boots, pair of flares, colored hair,spike hair,batik dyeing, feels like they didn't even try even no cool dance moves just a few pictures of some masses dancing. Karl doesn't drink or take drugs since he was a nutcase he just watches people do so or them taking pills but he only chainsmokes everything is shown from his bland workers perspective mostly as the driver but also nanny or barkepper. I've seen musicvideos that were emotional deeper funnier and had more plot than this movie.
