Average Rating:5.2/10

Consensus: Despite its dynamic subject and reckless anti-glamor, this biopic about the legendary punk rocker Darby Crash fails to translate the excitement its subject generated.

Genre: Dramas

US Box Office: $0

Synopsis: Filmmaker Rodger Grossman’s decade of research led to this gem of movie which looks at the seminal band from the late 70’s LA punk rock scene, the Germs, and their enigmatic lead singer, Darby... Filmmaker Rodger Grossman’s decade of research led to this gem of movie which looks at the seminal band from the late 70’s LA punk rock scene, the Germs, and their enigmatic lead singer, Darby Crash. Shane West (‘ER’) stars as Darby Crash, and Bijou Phillips and Rick Gonzalez play his bandmates in this retro biography. Incredibly faithful to the history of the group and those times, West embodies Crash both in character and appearance in this hard-hitting feature. --© Peace Arch [More]

The movie does little to elucidate the experiences and suicidal personality of a singer who was more of a poseur than a musician.

What We Do Is Secret should be kept as anything but a secret.
