Although this movie is not a rock star biopic like "Bohemian Rhaposdy" or "Rocketman", it is set a few years after those movies and features a lot of Bruce Springsteen's music and music of the 1980's -- great soundtrack.
I did not recognize any of the actors, but all of them did a great job portraying the economic and racial/social tensions occurring in Britain during the late 1980's.
If you are a Bruce Springsteen fan or just want to head back in time 32 years, I highly recommend this movie. . . 3.75 stars out of 4.

Will probably wait for the Blu-Ray and buy that. Sounds like something I would want to watch more than once.
