Here's a snippet of my review:
Punk band Ain't Rights are going nowhere fast, playing crappy gigs
and siphoning petrol just to keep their clapped-out tour van running. After an
interview with a local journalist and a disappointing take from their latest
gig, they hear of a backwoods gig where they can make some quick and easy cash.
The only rub is the clientele at the venue are far right (or are they extreme
left?) nutters and the Ain't Rights don't help matters by opening with a cover of
The Dead Kennedy’s Nazi Punks.
However, the poop really hits the fan when they witness a murder
backstage in the green room and find themselves trapped in the venue by those
who don't want them to get out alive. Led by Patrick Stewart's gang leader and
venue owner, an army of skinhead 'red laces' are soon lining up to pick off the
band members of Ain't Rights one by one.
Forget Assault on Precinct
13, at least the victims in that had a whole police station to hide in. In Green Room, it's literally just that.
One room. The claustrophobia is palpable, particularly as one of the Nazi thugs
is trapped in the room with the band. Saulnier builds the tension gradually
with plenty of time to get to know the characters before any blood spills.
