Thin Lizzy: Are You Ready?

Captures Thin Lizzy at their very best. Sadly, that's not exactly the case. Thin Lizzy remains one of the best and most underappreciated hard-rock bands of the '70s, but, sorry to say, this performance does not capture them at the peak of their formidable powers.

Owen stars as a British sportswriter living in rural Australia who is left to fend for himself and his sons after his wife dies suddenly.
