Taurus

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.

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.

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.

Very dark and gritty film. It dances on the line of fact and fiction for Colson's life. There is an element of the film that is introduced in the beginning, is later addressed in the film, but I think that Sutton could have tied it in with Colson's character to make a deeper impact on the film. Overall it is a good film but it could have had some tweaks made to it order for it to be a 10 but no film is perfect! I saw it screened at the Newport Beach Film festival! I think that Colson and Sutton would make a great pairing and could be good for both of their careers in film in the long run!!!!!!
