"While I'm not a fan of the man or his music, Tom Hardy is electric on-screen as the controversial punk rocker GG Allin. I doubt anyone else could have committed to the role quite like him." - Janet Donnelly, Empire Magazine
"The musician biopic is a well-worn genre, but director Todd Phillips and writer Billy Armstrong structure the film in such a lively manner that keeps the viewer actively engaged throughout." - Michael Wilmington, Rolling Stone
"The film and its characters are vile and disgusting, yet absolutely captivating. It is often hard to watch and it is hard to watch the acts Tom Hardy commits as Allin, but it will suck you in and leave you gasping." - Clark Davis, JoBlo.com
