As was to be expected with a kind of auto biopic of Machine Gun Kelly, there wasn't a whole lot of drama or depth to create a detailed and intriguing story with. That being said the performance delivered still made it enjoyable and realistic. With a better script based around the more dramatic tales from the Rap scene this could've been great. Never the less, it was produced well and for a music fan, it doesn't disappoint. As a movie fan don't go into it with the highest expectations and you will be satisfied. The music component of the film with integration of a songs conception, mixing and finalisation throughout is an amazing concept, one that was delivered well and could be used to great effect in other projects. Overall I see the film as not great but is good and groundbreaking in some ways. When looking back in a few years, it will hopefully be an acting and film turning point in Colson's career.

Colton Baker is INCREDIBLE in this movie, he has an undeniable presence that is just so effortless and cool. Very rebel/rockstar vibes that was just so intriguing to watch. However, the movie was uneventful and kinda without any real plot. It just seemed like a day in the life of a drug addict rockstar. So if you don't mind that, it was a great watch! MGK really carried this movie with just his presence, he has this IDGAF attitude which is so intriguing with a bad boy, yet vulnerable side. Damn is he HOT when he's mad! Ok I'm done, 11/10 stars for MGK but movie-wise, maybe a 5/10, well acted and great scenes :)

The idea of a Music Icon thrashing around and getting drunk and coked up endlessly should not be any big news or any groundbreaking sort of plot. But oddly enough, some studio execs thought that it was a big deal that Coleson (aka Machine Gun Kelly) was the lead was willing to be the messed-up character, that they had to put some unfortunate money behind it.

The result, as expected, is to make him out to be a total relentless asshole to everyone in his eyesight, especially the sweet and patient Assistant played by Maddie, who deserves as much credit as she can get for her acting chops in realistically portraying someone in the position of having to deal with the ridiculous antics of the spoiled "genius" she has to babysit.

The most hilarious scene which gives a realistic example of the so-called musical genius turning into a foul-mouthed child, throwing a tantrum in a TV interview studio, where the techs and the makeup people all scatter while Cole (his real name is the same as the character) yells and cusses out everything the poor girl does, for no reason--and then she quits, only to be combing his ridiculous ratty hair in the next shot.

The entire film is set up to somehow make us sympathize with the Cole character, only to leave us utterly cold as he is utterly devoid of any sort of sympathy for anyone, including his little 4-year old daughter. God only knows how that kid could ever mistake this man-child for a father.

This movie is pointless and is really only required viewing for that cross section of the audience that admires this kind of spoiled, egotistic, and vapid mentality.

The vibes I got from this film are intitled rocker with absolutely zero accountability. I've struggled with mental health my whole life & can resonate with deep pain but the self-centered, entitled attitude this man seems to have in this film is beyond comprehension. I can understand being raw and putting yourself out there but the only vibes I got from this film is that this person is clearly allowing their mental illness to completely take over their life and make exuses for every poor choice they decide to make. Most definitely no inspiration to be found in this film , more then just pure embarrassment of the toxic behavior exused simply by "I'm a rockstar " give me a break.

Do you like entertainment? Then this movie is NOT for you. It's boring from beginning to end. The main character is so unlikable and one note that you wish he would overdose within the first 15 minutes just so the movie can end. Wannabe Kurt Cobain is a drug addicted rock star. That's the plot. It's unoriginal, poorly acted, and it rivals paint drying in the entertainment department. Clearly MGK realizes he's never going to be Eminem so he's trying to be Kurt Cobain. He's just a copycat of other people. His acting range in this film goes between depressed and manic. You won't get anything else from the main character. What a BORING film.
