Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
I have seen this and it is great, Bruce is a genius. It kept me laughing all the way through. I absolutely love Bruce Willis and this is one of my favorites. If you have never seen it...I recommend renting or purchasing it and have a laugh riot.
Willis plays the title guy, a here-to-fore unknown seminal influence on rock history. Played quiet, with 'interviews' and 'archival footage' of Bruno's brushes with the greats and greatness, it's done quite well. The "documentary" finishes up with a real concert with Bruce backed up by a kick-ass blues band doing various "Bruno" songs and some standards that even wound up being released as a CD (still available as I write this). Their version of "Secret Agent Man" is particularly recommended.
