SLC Punk is a complete waste of time and talent.  Matthew Lillard gives a  really good performance as an anarchist going through some major life  changes, but the rest of this film is a waste.  Way too much hokey  philosophy and hackneyed visual shots by a third rate cinematographer.  The  soundtrack is great--Sex Pistols, Fugazi, Specials, even a little Rush at  the end.  But Heroin Bob played by Goorjian is completely overacted and  ridiculous, he ruins every scene he is in with his inadequacies.  One other  thing, will someone please get the acid trip right.  The director of this  film has chosen to go the traditional Easy Rider acid trip route which is a  total wreck.  I'd love to see just once an accurate portrayal of LSD  consumption on the big screen (check out Fear and Loathing).  This movie is  for posers, I caught it on HBO at 2:00 in the morning so luckily I didn't  waste any cash on it.  But if your into a mindless story with an aimless  plot that leads nowhere then check out SLC Punk.
