The Runaways is a name that can not be forgotten in the history of rock music world. Could be, The Runaways were the first rock band that all members are female. From then the band also appeared two big names that are still considered a rock music legend, Joan Jett (Kristen Stewart) and Lita Ford (Scout Taylor-Compton). Best Achievement of The Runaways as a woman who brought the band rock songs is just as Their second album, Queens of Noise, managed to reach position 172 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums in 1977.
The Runaways is a musical biography that tells about the journey of the band The Runaways, consisting of Joan Jett, Cherie Currie, Lita Ford, Sandy West - Jackie Fox was replaced by the fictional character Robin, because it does not allow himself portrayed in this film - as well as managers Kim Fowley them. The screenplay was adapted by the director, Floria Sigismondi, based on the autobiography written by Cherie Currie, Neon Angel: The Cherie Currie Story, which was released in 1989.
In the movie The Runaways audience can guess that they will be presented with a biographical musical impressions of the ordinary. When The Runaways begins with scenes of the first menstruation experienced by Cherie Currie (Dakota Fanning). Dreamed of becoming a professional singer, Cherie dreams become reality when he was invited by Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon), an eccentric producer, for an audition to be a rock band female vocalist who was he preserved. There also met with Joan Jett, Cherie (Kristen Stewart), an ambitious woman who played electric guitar champion, a thing rarely done by a girl.
Together with Sandy West (Stella Maeve), Lita Ford (Scout Taylor-Compton) and Robin (Alia Shawkat), Joan and Cherie formed The Runaways. With strong determination, as well as encouragement from a very Fowley became popular band, The Runaways finally managed to steal the attention of many rock fans the world, especially because their lyrics are considered to be liberal and sexual nature. Unfortunately, like many other big bands, the members of The Runaways started having vision after the disintegration of their band's name began to climb, particularly because of overheating in the relationship between Cherie Currie with his manager, Kim Fowley.
The biggest weakness of The Runaways, Floria Sigismondi resulting from the failure to establish proper storyline for the audience to feel connected to each of the characters in this film. Indeed, because the film is taken from the novel by Cherie Currie, Cherie characters who get major attention from the storyline of The Runaways. Even so, Sigismondi seen trying to give some slots for the character Joan Jett's story, the characters are probably more widely known by the audience in the present. And here lies the failure was seen, when the focus of the story to be split, the two characters are in fact did not affect significantly to the audience.
Fortunately, this movie gets full support from every line of cast slick appearance, especially from the three main characters cast: Dakota Fanning, Kristen Stewart and Michael Shannon. For his performance as Cherie Currie, increasingly leaving the image artist Fanning children far back. Here, Fanning appeared mature, free and wild. This is also done by Stewart, who seemed to liberate himself from the curse of the character Bella Swan from Twilight franchise, which requires him to appear sad in the sense that always sucks. Fanning and Stewart, who also appeared together in The Twilight Saga: New Moon, also gives a very strong chemistry on the character of Cherie Currie and Joan Jett along the storytelling of The Runaways, which also gives life to this film.
