Netflix just released a movie about the rise of Mötley Crüe titled The Dirt, based on the biography of the same name.
Holy sh-t what an entertaining movie. Not deep, but a truly a wild ride. Great acting from the guy playing Nikki Sixx (who's basically the main character), and Machine Gun Kelly of all people portrays Tommy Lee - and he does a good job!
The movie's also refreshingly free from the increasing SJWisms of the streaming giant. Groupies getting used, tits bouncing around, Sixx snorting coke off the ass of a slut... If you read the book you know what to expect.
My only reservation is that it could have focused more on the songwriting process, I always find that interesting. Some key people and events are also left out, no doubt by their own request since pretty much anything connected to this band is sleazy as hell.
In conclusion: Better than expected. It's a blitz through the history of a mythical 80's band, and the movie never loses steam.
