I caught the LA premiere. The atmosphere was high-energy and exciting. The film totally met it's expectations with me and the crowd. Loved it.

Caught the premiere. Good movie, very thought provoking and apparently Fred Durst (a former rockstar) directed it. Good job, must see!

I must agree. Phenominal first effort for Fred Durst as a director. Charlie Banks is well worth your time.

Caught it at the LA screening. Good story and acting. Fist-time director Fred Durst does a helluva job.
