Some things I liked some I did not.

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Quite honestly, I'd never heard of Rocco DeLuca and the Burden before I saw this documentary. I had originally watched this by recommendation of a co-worker back in 2007 who stated that one of my favourite actors (Kiefer of course) was the tour manager for a group of unknowns (Rocco DeLuca and the Burden) and that he made a complete fool of himself on a European tour all for the sake of getting these guys known. Well, my co-worker wasn't wrong in stating that Kiefer was not exactly suited to be a band manager but he did neglect to mention two things... Kiefer's devotion the band (he genuinely seemed to love the band and went out of his way to plug them in Ireland when he had realized that only two tickets to their show had been sold) and how much RDB ROCKS! Seriously, these guys are phenomenal and I recommend this film highly to anyone who wants to see a band trying to make it big with Kiefer Sutherland at the helm. I also recommend this for people who just want to discover a new and awesome band... Rocco DeLuca and the Burden!

I think the best part of this rockumentary is that I generally didn't like Kiefer or his past work, and I was not aware of this band. Yet, I found this to be the most honest and altruistic documentary I've seen. The music turned out to be very passionate and high quality for live performances. It's also in a genre that fits my tastes and doesn't bend to the will of trends and conformity. And with that said, there was a groove or theme of that nature throughout the film that gave it almost a plot; Kiefer coming to terms with his life through the role he plays with this band, and their will to succeed their own way. For a seemingly pointless rockumentary, it was straightforward and even gripping to me. Extremely well-edited.

Being a former music promoter, I am always interested when Rockumentaries come out.Having never seen even one episode of 24 and barely being aware of who Rocco was I went to check out the film.if you are a kiefer lover, you will further be enamored with himif you are a music lover, you'll want to find out more about the bandif you are doc lover, you will wonder why this film was made? is it a Kiefer vehicle , because you see a lot of him but nothing terribly enlightening or substantive aside from him talking about his mother.there are some shots of him in bed where his feet look enormous. You really don't get to really know who the band is either. Its entertaining enough. you'll probably see it on the sundance channel by January

i absolutely loved this documentary (rockumentary, really), but, as the poster above me mentioned, it's not that great if you're not a fan of kiefer or rocco & friends (honestly, i'm not really sure why you'd get a documentary about someone if you're not interested in them *shrugs*). i happen to be a huge fan of kiefer's (if the name didn't give you a clue) and recently a large fan of rocco deluca and the burden. forgive me for not going into detail about it, but the previous poster covered a lot, and i don't have the time. short and simple: for fans- obviously a must have. for *ah-hem* "non-fans"- you probably don't wanna waste your time watching a documentary about someone you're not interested in.
