Red Rocket...Mission Aborted!
I didn't hate it but I would find it a stretch to state I liked it.
The acting is probably the highlight of the movie for me. The characters are rich and well presented and seem to have come straight off the set off The Jerry Springer Show!
Where the films fails somewhat is, that its meandering style, flows all the way to the credits, so when they appear your are like wtf? Its finished.
Simon Rex aka Tripod lol, owns the film but I can't imagine how he would cope in another project. This one seemed designed just for him.
There are worst movies on show but the best part of the movie may be the poster? :)
