The movie came out about a month ago and was touted as this generation's The Breakfast Club. It looks worthy of a viewing. I like the young leads. The TV commercial shows it w/ Imagine Dragon's "It's Time" playing as the soundtrack. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dY5EbgJTvI

Another reason to see it, but didn't Contagion just feature the same song?

In the book one of the characters makes a mixtape and includes MLK on it.

Yeah, I read the novel a few months back and if I'm remembering correctly it's one of the narrator's favorite songs on the mixtape.
