Russell B A confident, eccentric debut about a trio of shambling and guileless friends who become the Candides of crime, Rocket feels particularly refreshing because it never compromises on its delicate deadpan sensibility. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/08/25 Full Review gumboil w if you like Napoleon dynamite you will most likely love this. one of the most under appreciated films of all time. this is a master piece and now one of my favourite movies. they nailed this sort of hopelessness that's both beautiful and tragic at the same time. the movies message is aim low but make it. its not trying to be quirky. but its quirky adjacent. a romanticised emptyness that really resonated with me. I felt on the verge of crying the whole time despite nothing sad happening on screen. its all an underlying melancholy somehow captured beautifully in this movie. this movie is eye candy if you love worn-out vintage motels and grain elevators . monuments of a lost time. still struggling to exist in our modern world where they do not fit. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/25 Full Review r96 s 'Bottle Rocket' felt like it was running on fumes for me, the conclusion is an improvement on what procedes but it doesn't quite do enough to salvage my feelings towards this Wes Anderson feature directorial debut. With that noted, I didn't explicitly dislike it either. Owen Wilson and Luke Wilson make their acting bows, quite interesting that the brothers don't actually portray brothers; kinda refreshing to see, actually. Robert Musgrave and James Caan are also involved. Owen is the standout in my opinion, though the main trio are on a similar-ish level. It coulda done with more laughs, but that's obviously a personal thing - no doubt many will find it funny, just not me; albeit with a few chuckles scattered in there. It also isn't the most Wes Anderson-y film, with his signature MO evidently not quite fully developed yet (as expected, tbf). Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review HITZ 4 Filme amador com um roteiro, atuações e desenvolvimento exótico e único. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, mas o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e mais relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/18/25 Full Review Michael V This was made long before Wes Anderson found his footing so the movie is uneven and uninteresting. I honestly turned it off halfway through, despite being a big fan of Wes Anderson's later work. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/13/25 Full Review Read all reviews
