It's All Gone Pete Tong has a incredible dichotomy. You go from rave scenes with large uncontrolled crowd to complete isolation. From incredible super loud techno music to silence. The man looses it all, yet finds something.The settings are captivating, the music is off the wall, the acting on spot, the scenario very interesting, the situation unusual, and the drama gripping. What more can you ask for?Well, you have to like techno music and its usual scene to appreciate fully, but it's not a prerequisite, really. The fall is very human in nature, as is the end. You'll smile, I guaranty it.Take a peak at least, and you'll finish the movie, I'm sure.

Just saw the film and I must say it was really good. I've wanted to see it for some time now and even though I'm not into dance I found it very interesting, with very good performances all round, especially Paul Kaye.I found some of the scenes very touching, too. Being a drummer, I've recently starting suffering from Tinnitus and so could relate a little to how it must feel to lose your hearing and the feelings and emotions one gets with that and so I think this film does a good job of showing the dangers of listening to music too loudly, although it wasn't really the aim of the film.All in all, I'd recommend it although I think it does go heavy on the language and drink and drugs for a 15 cert (although that keeps it real) and also it suffers a bit in the pacing department. But nonetheless it's an ace film!

I think its one of the best movies iv'e ever seen, And it together with school of rock are ranked as my favorite 2 movies..Pete tong's Freaking great man ! His Sickness .... WOW ROCKS !I Love movies containing club business, And the tropical Ibiza islands with all that party stuff ... It's great. Then what about the storyline?? The character rocks and even the story based on true... The sound effects deaf from one ear.. That makes you go crazy and feel in in the movie The music makes you go crazyThen WILDE destroying the apparatus and what about drugs ?? The little bear he has making him sniff and smokeThe celebration of the feeling of music stuff and his movements on stage Even the way the people feels when he is introduced.His woman and son ... Maybe love maybe problems. Not enough in my post??? SEE IT Just good good to see... PLS SUPPORT THIS MOVIE

'Pete Tong' is a movie that admittedly grew on me as it went along. I really wasn't getting into this movie, which is about one of the top DJs in the world, and his reaction to becoming deaf. GREAT subject matter. Wasn't quite sure about why I didn't get into the movie as much as I could have at the beginning. Maybe it was because I really didn't care for a character that was filthy rich, takes lots of drugs, parties all the time and is generally scummy. I'm sure that's it. But as we go along, and as he is more accepting of his hearing loss and what to do about it, he really started to grow on me, and I was sort of cheering at the end (but booing at the very end though, the ending sucks). I have no idea who this Paul Kaye is, but let me tell you, he has the most riveting blue eyes I've ever seen, so it's next to impossible to forget someone like him, he makes his character (actually named Frankie Wilde) someone you'll remember. He's very good in this role, and I would like to see some more of him. The supporting cast is alright I suppose, but not really memorable. As a partially deaf man, this was not necessarily the best movie about my condition. I actually prefer DEF, which was a short about a fully deaf teenager wanting to become a rapper. This is a somewhat okay alternative I guess.
