Bottle Rocket rating: (out of 4 stars) United States; 1996 Directed by Wes Anderson; produced by Cynthia Hargrave, Polly Platt; written by Owen Wilson, Wes Anderson Starring Owen Wilson, Luke Wilson, James Caan, Ned Dowd, Shea Fowler, Haley Miller, Robert Musgrave, Lumi Cavazos Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.
'Bottle Rocket' repeats the first fifteen minutes of the short with the same
name, released in 1994. Writer director Wes Anderson collaborating with
writer Owen Wilson have made a nice first feature film, one that shows their
abilities to make a good film. Since they went on to make 'Rushmore', 'The
Royal Tenenbaums' and 'The Life Aquatic' they showed they could actually
make a really good film. Here they come close, with moments of pure
brilliance, but in between it is just another film. |
