    Great movie for all rock fans alike. Even though Wahlberg and Aniston play great roles, the singing is not performed by Mark but by a real life rockstar called Matjevic Milljenko, lead singer of the band Steelheart. Look up their first albums especially the album named Steelheart. The film also features Zakk Wylde's guitar solos and Jeff Scott Soto singing as the original Steel Dragon lead singer in the movie. I love this film so much. The music is great and the guitars insane. Good storyline and great cast. Amazing vocals thanks to Milli. All types of rock lovers can appreciate the quality of the music in this film. Whethe ryou like light, heavy, hair, death or classic rock, you will enjoy this film.

  • Cool movie

    Im a big fan of Mark Wahlbergs films and when i rented this movie just last week i brought it just days later. This is one of my fav films now by Wahlberg as im a massive massive fan of most rock and metal music and love the rock/metal made movies so to come to no surprise half way through this movie i loved it. The music in this film was great. The acting in this film was great. To see Walhberg play the part as a rock star made me think "is that him singing" it looked that good and looked as though Wahlberg really enjoyed acting the role of a rock star and played it very well with a lot of passion to rock music, you could just see it in his acting. Iv read about this film on the intenet and to my supprise it didnt get as much ratings as i thought but then everybody is different. For me this movie ROCKED and Mark Wahlberg ROCKED.
