Red Rocket
Mikey Saber (a magnetic, live-wire Simon Rex) is forced to return to his small-town Texas roots after flaming out and burning bridges all throughout LA. A washed up porn star and charismatic con man, Mikey quickly begins plotting his path back to the big time causing destruction every step of the way. A wild, fiercely funny film from writer-director Sean Baker, Red Rocket is an indelible portrait of an all-American hustler and a hometown that barely tolerates him.
You have to be a fan of Sean Baker @nicklee191
As a 26 year old man, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, and yes, Simon Rex’s character was absolutely despicable. The reason that I bring my age into account is because I believe this to be a film for younger people. My generation grew up with drugs and online porn, so I can honestly say Sean Baker is speaking for a generation here. I only give this 4 stars because I’m aware that these types of films can be offensive for more conservative viewers. In other words, this isn’t one you sit and watch with gam gams.
HOLY MOLEY @Jenny Battersfield
I just saw this movie in theaters and it blew my penis straight through my spine. Not sure how that’s physically possible but it happened. 10/10. Sean Baker is a genius. I mean, he made my penis do that thing I just described so yeah… good film maker
Red Rocket is a dark/raunchy comedy about modern American society. @lisalo68
Sean Baker is known for depicting the troubling parts of modern America and its people. Red Rocket is another addition to his filmography. While it’s not his best work, it still has a lot to offer. Simon Rex deserves some recognition for his performance because he was perfect. You need to watch Sean Baker’s other films before you watch this, and if you don’t like his other movies, then don’t bother with this.
A horrible story about a derelect porn star liar. @ScottDLA
What is this film trying to say? And WHY is this a comedy exactly? The main character is a terrible person, why is this to be glorified in film? The redhead is the BEST part of the movie, a great acting job by her. I don't get why I'm watching a movie about some jerk that isn't funny. How is this an 88% Tomatometer? Indicative of what's wrong with our culture today that this type of crap is considered high quality.
God bless Sean Baker @Thanos999
Dude’s a legend
