Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

imapoa Wood Harris portrays Jimi with respect and determination, but doesn't quite PORTRAY him. Then again, how many actors could? I don't think Mr. Harris had ever experienced LSD when he attempted to deliver Jimi's oratory at Monterey; his effort was...well, kinda silly. Some of the other dialogue is also clumsy but this was a demanding role. I'm aware of some Hendrix career history and inclined to believe that the movie is basically accurate throughout (as with Gotti HBO movie).Although the music isn't too bad, I have to wonder why they didn't use actual Hendrix tracks? And why does the guy who plays the role of Little Richard look nothing like him? Was Michael Jeffrey really such an a-----e in real life? The real Chas Chandler seems like an unsympathetic and driven producer on the Electric Ladyland DVD...yet he and Jimi were said to be a great music partnership. Billy Zane does a fine job as Michael Jeffrey I guess, considering that I really don't know what he was actually like! Oh well.

kssmith00 I found the movie to be very good! I have been a causal admirer of Hendrix for a while, but the movie really gave me real interest for him. I really like Wood Harris in the roll...he looked and acted much like the Jimi that I have seen. The story seemed accurate from additional reading/research that I have since done. But keep in mind it is a movie and subject to someone's interpretation, just as all stories are.As far as the comment about the money hunger family...Because they have been duped for so long I think they have a right to do as they please. However, no one really knows any of those details! It really would be par for the course if no one even bothered to ask them.I recommend this movie.

mammamoon MammaMoon and I are going to buy this film regardless of the reviews we have read. We saw it and loved it, we are Jimi Hendrix fans. We feel all the acting was well done, the sound track awesome--we highly recommend this film to be included with anyones film collection on the history of the 60's Culture and those wonderful creative and inspiring years.

skysandstars I'm a big fan of Jimi,and this music totally ruins itself soon after it starts. The camera work for one,is horrible. The zooms and constant angle changes don't convey any kind of meaning, they just make you dizzy. Also, I didn't like how it went from stock footage from the actual 60's to pretty little film, it didn't fit. The plot was extremely slow, and the only reason I kept watching it was because of the music, and the acting was good, but horrible direction.
