As good as I expected it to be, in a good way.

score 7/10

This movie is underrated, being a fan of most of the actors in this film, it came out to be as good as expected.
They first mentioned this movie being made back in 2014, they would tease about it for two years on Instagram until they gave a theater date, although it was in select theaters. Now yes it was annoying having to wait a few months for someone to post a good quality version on a movie site, but the wait was worth it.
The people who made this movie are a bunch of young actors, most have never been in a movie besides YouTube videos years ago or someone who hasn't done much acting in over 10 years (Drake Bell). The acting of Andy and Ben was better then I expected it to be, although I have seen what they have done on YouTube which is impressive for a YouTube series, but for a movie I didn't think Andy's acting to be as good it was.
The only problem I actually have with this movie, is how the use the singer of Palaye Royale, a pitchy not to great voice, over Andy. Andy is in a band himself and has a great masculine voice. To put a pitchy singing voice over a masculine male voice was just....weird and kinda cringy.
Besides that, they spent their time writing a entire soundtrack and making "The Relentless" an actual band pretty much for the movie and future tv show. They'll even put out another for the show so that's impressive to put as much work into the movie as they did.
The reason this movie is underrated is specifically because people can't appreciate how much work these people put into making this film, but by the so called flaws that aren't even that bad.
This movie definitely isn't perfect, but it is entertaining, it has a badass soundtrack, and a interesting story.
