Great setup, which has a punk band taking what turns out to be a very bad gig (jeez that's an understatement) and ending up fighting for their lives against neo-Nazis. Early on the cinematography is quite good, and it segues to a feeling of claustrophobia that enhances the drama. It felt like it could have led to something more, however, and ended up as a standard drama. Patrick Stewart is suitably menacing even when all the character motivations don't seem to add up, and was a nice addition to the cast. I loved how they showed that the attack dog was simply loyal to its owner, which was probably my favorite moment in the film. It's not a bad watch and engaging throughout, just not something particularly inspiring.
