House of Dynamite was veey good. Worst ending to a film ever though.

Watched the Colin Farrell gambler film on netflix. It's got poor reviews but I quite enjoyed it

The Bruce Springsteen film is pretty good.  I wasnt blown away by it, but entertaining none the less.  I must say though that I'm not a massive fan (although I do like some of his songs), and I wouldnt know much about his life.

Jeremey Allen White is very good.

It's basically a snapshot of a period of time in the early 80s, and some childhood flashbacks. It's probably good that they didnt try to cover too much ground in such a long career.

Went to see it last night myself. My wife didn't enjoy it as it was darker than she was expecting.  Have read a few biographies and being aware of his problems and the issues around the release of the Nebraska album I really enjoyed it. Jeremy Allen White was excellent.

If you don't go to it expecting it to be a run through of Bruce's greatest hits it's well worth a watch.
Keep your pecker hard and your powder dry and the world will turn.

I'm actually glad it wasnt, and that would have been my issue with the Bob Dylan biopic.
