Taurus

Have to admit I only watched this for MGK who I find mildly interesting. I don't like most of his music and if you go into this expecting to hear a bunch of his music, forget it, this movie is about one drug addicted star and their is little music to it. There isn't much of a story to it either, little character development, and it really just qualifies as a slice of life drama. In that instance it works. He's actually a fairly good actor even if he's not given much to do and that seems to be the main problem with this movie. There is no depth to it. We learn nothing about him, or really any of the characters. Maddie Hasson, who could be Florence Pugh's twin, steals the movie as the assistant. There are some well done and interesting scenes and the movie is well shot and scored. It comes across as a realistic look at one segment of the music and entertainment industry but it definitely needed more of everything, more plot, more drama, more dialogue, more background.

Full disclosure: I only streamed this because hot Megan Fox was in it. At least I think she was.

This movie was so freaking bad that I spaced out many times during it. Frankly, I only remember Megan for a few minutes maybe 50 minutes into the movie.

But as I said, this is a space out movie. It is one of the worst written and directed films I've seen in about a decade. It is so slow you will be drowsing off following the credits.

I'm not even sure why this movie was made, or how it got backing. It goes no where. You have no sympathy or empathy for the main character whatsoever.

Please, never direct a movie again.

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 :)

Upper body half that 98% of the viewers will think Kurt Cobain when delving into this , lets call it '' riding the surf into eternity'' kind of sad socialrealismic drama called taurus...

the thumbs up for the 2 main actors, the explosive discussion in the studio is some of the best interaction ive seen ever, as well as rest of the cast, its colliding into a crystalclear revelation of sadness, pain and agony due to the force of stardome, the score leads you effectively into the abyss, and the outcome of the story is checked out allready from the start.

What draws some stars is outta some of the camera and soundwork, some camera-/-man-shadow here and there, and some closeups are hard to say, but what makes just a 7? Well the plotspeed, it dragsssss...

but if newbie stuff then its good, the actors definately delivers, and one thing the grumpy old is surtain about is that you will become sad and thoughtfull.

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.
