Taurus

Taurus is one of the worst films I have ever seen. As someone who has seen many films depicting mental health & addiction this must be one of the most one dimensional attempts ever made. MGK is desperate to portray himself as a broken angst ridden artist at the best of times. This film feels self absorbed and try hard. The dialogue is awful. The acting even worse. The scenes of drug use felt so text book with empty dialogue which felt meaningless and so Hollywood without any grit or emotion. Even if MGKs character is meant to be depressed I still should have felt some of the internal pain from the character and I felt nothing. There was no substance to anything in this film.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)
