CGiii Comment
Oldman does well in this morose biography.
Vicious was minutely interesting for a minute - 112 minutes later - you will realise how uninteresting (and talentless) he really was.
There's no praise for this young idiot - which makes this film far better than it should have been.

Morbid biographical story of Sid Vicious, bassist with British punk group the Sex Pistols, and his girlfriend Nancy Spungen. When the Sex Pistols break up after their fateful US tour, Vicious attempts a solo career while in the grip of heroin addiction. One morning, Nancy is found stabbed to death and Sid is arrested for her murder.
