Street Survivors: The True Story of the Lynyrd Skynyrd Plane Crash

I thought after exposing the inaccuracies in "If I Leave Here Tomorrow," where out of 96 minutes the six minutes that was about Cassie & Steve Gaines was never fact checked about the date, location, venue where Steve Gaines auditioned even who made the call to turn Steve's guitar up in the mix. If those facts are blown over what other facts stated in the movie can you believe to be accurate? That movie was reviewed as a documentary. It wasn't ! That movie and this movie are tales told by people who's brains experienced a plane crash after being in a drug induced environment. And should we be surprised when they get it wrong. You can believe LS & MCA about as far as you can throw them.

I love Lynyrd Skynyrd, and I love movies - this had a lot of potential. Unfortunately, this movie is just bad. So much over dramatization and it cannot be overestimated the level self importance Artimus has for himself. Even if all of this story were true, I can't imagine telling the story this way. Do not recommend.

The Skynyrd story needs to be told, but it deserves someone who can do it properly. There are some good documentaries about Skynyrd and I want to see a good feature film about them but unfortunately this one fell flat. This band was the farthest thing from an after school special but ultimately this feels like a lifetime special. Cameron Crowe would be my choice to make a film on Skynyrd.

I'm going to just keep it short. I've loved Skynyrd since I was 14 one of my very first albums was One More From the Road so I was not introduced to them long before the end. But I started learning all their songs on guitar and I just was absolutely amazed at their musicianship. I cannot believe how little respect for these human beings was shown and if Artemus signed off on this he's really crazy. They made a mockery of all of them. Art by making him look foolish like he was a superhero saving the day which I do believe happened but the way it was portrayed and him being pretty much squeaky clean do nothing wrong. While the rest were just redneck animal chemical rejects. This was a slap in the face of fans but worse it was a spit in the face of the band. They should have made a two part movie and told it right. From beginning to end.

The story was too overdramatized. A couple of incompetent pilots flying a broken down plane carrying a bunch of drug addicts just wasn't something I could get into. I never felt any pity with the exception for Cassie.
