...camera focuses so tightly on Jones and Thorogood that the female actresses fade into the background. Monet Mazur (“Monster-in-Law”) as Anita Pallenberg, mistress of many band members, and Novotny both take decent turns, but neither endows her leggy blonde character with much individuality...
...wrong voice and the wrong way. I abhor their violence. I do not believe that street fighting leads anywhere. I support non-violent protests.

A third of the space is occupied by the bar—with fairly decent beers on tap, though nothing spectacular—while a teeny stage sits at the far end of the room. A few stone toad idols sit above the bartender’s head, prompting a dude sitting near me to tell me about this time in college when he caught...
