Gary Oldman's incarnation as Sid Vicious is superb. This film is raw, ugly and loud! Precisely the way a movie about a drug addicted punk rocker star should be! The director, Alex Cox, brings the viewer right into the debts of the chaotic and anarchic world of the famous British punk band the Sex Pistols. The story itself is more focused on the self-destructive life of Sid Vicious, who was the popular bass player of this group and his girlfriend Nancy Spungen (played by Chloe Webb). Cox spares no details in captivating the essence of the mayhem and disarray of their dark life style and the bizarre yet haunting love they shared. Their is an eerie realism to this movie that makes one believe, that they are actually witnessing the lives of these people as it really happened. And what a tumultuous life it was. This isn't only great for fans of the Sex Pistols, this is truly a moment in history come back to life... for just a moment.
