In the late 1970s Britain, Joe Elliot joins a small time rock band that becomes Def Leppard. Soon taking control of the band with his perfectionism, Elliot and his mates strive to reach the top despite their personal strife that drives the less determined members away for more driven ones. By 1982, Def Leppard becomes a rock sensation, only to find that success has its own problems. Whether it be drummer Rick Allen's dismembering accident or guitarist Steve Clark's equally self-destructive alcoholism, the band struggles to keep the loyalty, tenacity and creativity that would make the group one of the greatest in rock history.
Engaging look at one of the biggest bands of the '80's. Although peppered with some inaccuracies, the movie is well acted and quite absorbing. The band's rise is traced from their working-class roots to mega-platinum status, including their drummer's near-fatal car accident and triumphant return despite the loss of an arm, and their guitarists' battles with alcohol. The actors are far from look-alikes, but manage to bring through their real-life counterparts' personalities. Most noteworthy is a heartbreaking performance by Karl Geary as Steve Clark. While Orlando Seale dominates the film as the ambitious Joe Elliott, Adam MacDonald's portrayal of Rick Savage will send goosebumps down the arms of some fans. Die-hard fans will spot lots of gaps in the script, but should appreciate it for the tribute that it is intended to be.IMDB Reviewer
