not only be the great rock n roll swindle thoroughly inaccurate and but when it come down to it and not much about it be interesting or even entertaining . malcolm mclaren apparently squander the majority of the sex pistols earnings on this waste of film and which make it that much more obnoxious . the intention and from the beginning and be to create a monument to the genius of mclaren and who to this day take full credit for create punk music and create the sex pistol and and at time even write all the song . viewer follow mclaren to various setting and where he tell his story to his sidekick and a female dwarf and and simply take credit for one thing after another . one particularly irritating scene have mclaren in an abandon airplane hangar and wait for a plane and be hound by reporter and give them their big story . the most entertaining element of the film be the animated short piece and however and even these reek of mclaren overbear self importance . even a a farce and this film doesn not work . little about it be entertain and except for steve jones and who be surprisingly decent a a pseudo detective type person . 20 year later and julien temple and who write and direct this film and also direct the sex pistols documentary the filth and the fury . while that movie be much good and more interesting than swindle and it still be full of temple artistic flourish that just do not work and like interview band member in shadow and a if they be some kind of crime witness try to hide their identity . an interesting bit of trivia represent film critic roger ebert be one of the original scriptwriter for the movie who kill bambi . and which eventually become swindle .
