way too sloppy...
If it wasn't for the amazing soundtrack n great casting of some of the all time music legends, i would of given this film a much lower score. The film as a whole was such a mess, n felt unbelievably rushed. Bottom line is, it could of been so much better, and instead i just feel incredibly disappointed.

I was not sure quite what to expect but this was very entertaining for someone who knew little about Chess records.I was drawn to the music of Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf and Chuck Berry after first hearing the Rolling Stones live at L ewisham with Bo Diddley.This film gives an excellent insight to the importance of them all in what is now called Rock and Roll. ALL ACTORS are excellent. TRY it you will enjoy even if you do not like this type of music you will be pleasantly surprised.
