AUDIENCE SCORE
User Ratings: 8,003
Rating: 2.5/4 -- While What We Do Is Secret may not be remembered for much more than West's performance, it's an impersonation worth saluting.

"What We Do Is Secret" makes a bid for entering Crash into rock'n'roll mythology. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- Despite its thorough attention to historical detail and the obvious love of all involved for their shattered subject, What We Do Is Secret is, in the end, awfully sterile for a movie about the Germs. Full Review

A labor of love for writer-director Rodger Grossman, this entertaining if superficial biopic chronicles the rise and fall of LA punk pioneers the Germs. Full Review

Rating: C -- In sure hands, What We Do Is Secret could have been a fine rock'n'roll biopic. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- Some of the supporting performances, like those of Phillips and Gonzalez, are very strong, but it's West who lifts the entire film to a whole other level. Full Review

Product Description:

In this biopic, fans can watch the meteoric rise--and equally epic fall--of Darby Crash, the lead singer of punk band the Germs. In 1970s Los Angeles, Darby (Shane West) creates the Germs, even though his fellow band members have little experience with their instruments. Joined by Pat Smear (Rick Gonzales), Lorna Doom (Bijou Phillips), and Don Bolles (Noah Segan), Darby rules the punk world, but drugs soon dethrone him and the band, and Darby resorts to suicide. WHAT WE DO IS SECRET enlists Darby's band mate Smear as its executive music producer.
