Review of The Dirt (2019) by Clem666 — 21 Mar 2021
Everything looked great for this attractive Mötley Crüe biopic. Everything before you take a look at it. I never saw a movie so representative of itself in its five first minutes. Yep, in less than five minutes, you saw it all. On the menu of originality of rock bands biopics we have : flashing boobs, drugs and alcohol abuse (but those certainly are unavoidable classics), groupies, family feuds, long worldwide tours, a lot of sex, stupid characters, pre-juvenile and childish jokes, arguments within the band and violence among others.
The movie quickly becomes disjointed and its pace becomes really tricky. 'The Dirt' will surely bombard you of naked women and sex scenes in order to get a bit of the public's attention. It will not hide product placements as Jack Daniels and Marshall technology. As the events go on and on the characters appear to have less and less depth until you reach the 'I-don't-care-anymore' point. It is better that way because if you try to hang on that will be your humanity that will take a hard shot.
Surprisingly there are some parts in which the movie tries to be moving and more coherent but these parts totally fall apart with the terrible acting and scenarists' writing skills. The impression of having wasted time at the end is omnipresent.
