TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

newmountainmusic Forget about the guy who bitched about Steve Vai and wrote a whiny review. This documentary doesn't look at the most famous session players (Like Vai), it follows people you may have never heard of (but whose talents you may have heard). The depth and honesty of the documentary is palpable. The players it does focus on show just how high the highs and how low the lows are when you dedicate your life to playing someone else's music. A couple superstar artists come out looking like douche bags for the way they treat their side men, but for the most part, the documentary steers clear of drama.

wgfaej Really enjoyed watching this and learned a lot about the lives these guys had.What struck me in the end was nobody was overly bitter (at least in this film) or resentful other than the lack of communication when their time was up.They seemed to know the precarious edge that chose to live on and what that meant in job security.But happy to have been part of something big and creative.

panchovaldovinos Everything in this movie appears to be something unknown to the regular music lover like me. The hired guns were something I didn't even considered in the music industry. Really good featured musicians, fun stories. Really great job. You must see it, trust me!

sisicronin Absolutely incredible! if you are a fan of music you MUST see this film. Ideally on the big screen! I have seen the film 3 times, at SXSW, in the theater, and on DVD, and I well up every time. The "Hired Guns" featured are the most talented musicians in the world and each of their stories are incredible. Highly recommended.
