Dennis Hopper stars as the manager of an up-and-coming pop act called White Star, who he promotes by any means possible, including starting riots. Hopper more or less saves this one from being terrible with a performance that looks to me like he is coked out of his eyeballs. The so-called up-and-coming White Star himself is a total charisma vacuum with no discernible music talent either. So, that's somewhat of a problem, while the story is clumsily told to say the least with White Star rising, avoiding an assassination attempt and becoming a drug addict IN THE SPACE OF A WEEK! Its hopelessly inauthentic from a music perspective or as a believable drama but it was strangely watchable all the same, probably on account of The Hop coasting on class A drugs.
