Eric Schmid penned this biopic dramatizing the early years of controversial rock star Iggy Pop -- a figure now regarded as one of the seminal godfathers of punk music, but who also attained a great deal of notoriety and infamy for his early years of drunken and drugged-out excess and his incessant, masochistic flirtations with death. Elijah Wood portrays the controversial Pop; Nick Gomez directs. The actual punk rocker reportedly approved of this film but declined to participate in its production. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
