Time Out London
From the opening voiceover to the out-of-their-heads party scenes, it’s utterly generic. - 40
The Guardian
It's rammed with cliches and silliness and conforms to a lot of stereotypes, the most suspect being the obligatory scene in Ibiza whose only purpose is to show loads of young women with no tops on. - 40
Empire
A bang-on soundtrack will make the hairs on ex-ravers' necks stand up. The plot will have the opposite effect. - 40
Total Film
The leads gurn gamely, Ben Batt’s villain oozes menace and Golden directs energetically, but the climactic twists are as convincing as pills made of washing powder. - 40
The Telegraph
Every turn Karl Golden’s cheeky-chappie comedy-drama about the early-Nineties rave scene takes is a little less original or convincing.
