I have just watched The Runaways for the second time, and, as a fan of rock music, this is one of my favorite biographical film about a music artist or band. The film explains the rise and fall of the musical phenomenon The Runaways back in the 70s, and focus on the tension and drama of its performers, Cherie Currie and Joan Jett.

The film does a very good job in retelling the story and the soundtrack is superb, especially the tracks that were re-performed by Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart. The film doesn't go any more further than that, and the it feels a little short and unsatisfying somehow, even with a subtle ending.

However with the powerful performance of Michael Shannon, Dakota Fanning, and Kristen Stewart - this film is a must-see for all fans of rock music alike.
