Product Description
1990. The rave scene has arrived from Ibiza and warehouse parties are exploding across the UK. In Manchester, best mates Matt and Dylan have embraced the culture with open-arms, but they have dreams of being more than just punters. As the government moves to outlaw the scene, it’s now or never and they quickly rise through the ranks to join the promoting elite. They are taken on a wild journey from the exclusive VIP rooms of London clubs to the outrageous parties in Ibiza super-villas and the hedonism of Amsterdam. It’s everything they dreamed of and more. But as their success continues to grow, they find themselves caught up in a darker and far more sinister world. Matt and Dylan start to drift apart as they are forced to question the dreams they set out to achieve and their once solid friendship.

What can I say... this film is rocking and well worth a viewing. Captures the scene and took me right back. What a great young cast of new talent. Jack O'Connell is a star. Quality film, quality music.

Proper rave film!! Soon as I watched it I felt like belling the lads to go out!! Personally like it more then human traffic.
By J GOOD
Format:DVD
The film is set in 1990 but a lot of the music is from years after that. The director should have paid someone who was on the scene back in the day to go through the script and soundtrack and advise. It looks like the only knowledge of the scene has been lifted from newspaper clippings. The acting is terrible (Think Biker Grove with fake manc accents)and the characters totally one dimensional. The atmosphere and dancing in the parties is nothing like it was back then. On paper this could have been a fantastic film but it's messy and totally unauthentic. Would have been so much better if someone like Noel Clarke had directed it. A bigger pile of dung than Nick Love's 2009 remake of The Firm. One to miss. The one star is for the dayglow pink cover, not the film.

Very disappointing
Having grown up during the rave scene of the early 90s I found this movie a massive disappointment. It doesn't even come close to capturing the atmosphere of the time. Read more

Entertaining.
Great nostalgia trip. Shows how dull tennagers lives are today anyway. What a choice, watch X Factor or wear hoodies and be horrible to everyone. Read more
