A bit messy...

...and not just from the drugs

I get the director was trying to recreate a nostalgic view of the rave era. I imagine 94 was around the time that they experienced the scene, but by then the rave scene was more about the big organised events, such as the mentioned resurrection. The film seems to forget which year it's in, the music is from late 80s to mid 90s, and the main party was a depiction of the late 80s type rave, with the convoys meeting in a field somewhere. The police references and cj act were good add ins, but the whole film seemed to miss the mark, the main relationship was weird, the bit about the dealer brother didnt add anything, the characters were quite empty and you didnt really get to know them.

A shame really, as I always like a good dance/rave film, and theres not many about
