Title: A letdown
Product review: Being a casual fan of the club-scene and having read the excellent book "Clubland" - based on the same story - I had high expectations that this movie was going to take us into the club world and give a real glimpse of what was going on. Unfortunately, the movie is a campy re-telling of a truly horrific story about one Michael Alig. I got the sense that the director was trying to create something that was arty and stylized, where the subject matter really demanded a more down-to-earth and uncolored treatment. Not much point in a movie like this - neither interesting nor fun. I recommend those who want an inside look at the life get a copy of "Clubland" instead, which also has more information about the Miami crime scene behind the clubs there as well.
