“The Dirt” (**1/2 out of four) was a generally entertaining adaptation of Motley Crue’s over-the-top 2001 rock biography about the legendary L.A. rock band (Douglas Booth, Machine Gun Kelly, Daniel Webber, Iwan Rheon) and their meteoric and debauched ride to the top and their gradual undoing from drugs and tragedy and subsequent reforming and reunion. Director Jeff Tremaine does a serviceable job of recreating the 1980’s rock scene with PLENTY of sex and drugs but unfortunately (as is the case with most music biographies) film feels truncated and superficial and we’ve seen a lot of this before. However, film does send you out with a bang with a touching ending and an end credits sequence featuring the original band members which will really kickstart your heart.
