There's no doubt that this film is worthy of cult status, and to many this is one of those all-time-classics. For me though, it's a good film, but doesn't quite hit the mark as a great film. Some elements of the film are beautifully done; the generic packaging of food products, the bleak urban feel, and the seemingly apathy to violence and death make for a great dystopian atmosphere. This means that although the film is filmed/set in the 1980's, it has a futuristic look to it, almost like Mad Max. The dystopia is developed further as the main characters have little or no ambition, whenever someone discusses what they want from life it's never anything more than committing crime or becoming a `fry chef' in a fast food ...

As a minor fan of Punk, this is one of the most disappointing films I've seen. Gary Oldham gives a laughably bad portrayal of Sid Vicious nothing like the real thing at all and the leading lady was quite poor in her role as Nancy. Overall the biggest problem this movie suffers from is that it has the patina of a cheap amateur film student project. I recently watched "The Filth and the Fury," a documentary about the Pistols and their antics, and I found this flick much less engaging. I've never understood Sid and Nancy's parasitic need for each other, and this movie did nothing to enlighten me. The performances and music make this a marginal "recommend", but not by much. Another nail in the coffin of the British Film industry during ... Read More:

I know most people like to see a positive review but alas I cannot oblige! Apart from the scene showing Liverpool cathedral and St James cemetery there is nothing good to say about this movie. Eccelston is a great actor but this work just never gets going. A mix of old English language and a modern Liverpool setting, one could argue failure was assured before filming. Very poor and presumably only made possible from a financial aspect by yet more ludicrous spending of the lottery commission!

Best remembered (if at all) as the film that comprehensively destroyed Alex Cox’s mainstream career, it’s hard to see what caused such vitriolic offense at the time. Cox and screenwriter Rudy Wurlitzer’s take on the unbalanced self-deceiving ‘idealist’ mercenary William Walker’s intervention in Nicaragua to protect Cornelius Vanderbilt’s financial interests there, setting off a century of disastrous American interference, is not particularly subtle, but then William Walker wasn’t exactly a subtle man (“Clearly this is no ordinary asshole,” judges one of the more astute locals). With a visual style clearly inspired by spaghetti westerns and Sam Peckinpah, a contradictory narration - what you hear isn’t ... Read More:
