review by Rob Marshall
There's a new band of musically adventurous jazz musicians who
can't get arrested by the music industry's powerbrokers unless they get a singer. When
one of the band members suffers major injuries following a motorbike accident, the
result is a melodramatic study of severe disability. One quits, another becomes a mule
for drug pushers, the female singer eventually leads the young hopefuls to a well
earned success at their first club gig. What's wrong with GMT (Greenwich Mean
Time) is that the plot is unfocused, ranging all over the place from youth anxieties
to social commentary, subculture expo to crime drama. This both reveals a so-what
pointlessness to plot and compromises even the bits that do work - like the
techno-jungle music itself. Passable entertainment, but deeply flawed, and aimed at -
who knows?
