Title: Obscene
Product review: I was one of the unfortunate people who actually saw this movie in a theatre (me and three others: two walked out and the other would have but I was his ride).I'd read the book a couple of times and was impressed with its lean reportage and strict adherence to facts.Then I saw this movie....It's bad enough to go through the harrowing final days of Belushi in the book, but the movie takes it one disturbing step further: John didn't just die, he went to hell.Was this some producer's revenge for John denying the industry future profits for movies he wouldn't be around to make anymore? "Hey, Belushi's crowd is a wild-and-crazy audience, so let's make his tragic death a wild-and-crazy movie!"I'm glad this movie tanked.Chiklis does such a wonderful job of playing Belushi, but--for anyone who even remotely liked Belushi--this movie is infuriating and depressing.
