Bottle Rocket was the defining moment that sparked my interest in the Indie movement. It is the first in the promising career of director Wes Anderson and in my opinion the best. This movie also introduced the writing/acting talents of brothers Luke and Owen Wilson.

Challenged with monotony of suburban life, Anthony Adams (Luke Wilson) and Dignan (Owen Wilson) adventure off into a l... read more

Not stupendous, but very good dialogue and emotionally-involving characters.

Description: After Dignan (Owen Wilson) convinces his pals Bob (Robert Musgrave) and Anthony (Luke Wilson) to rob a local bookstore, the trio holes up in a border-town motel, where Anthony falls for a beautiful maid (Lumi Cavazos) and the boys ponder their criminal future.

"First viewing - April 20th/21st I definitely hadn't planned on watching this one this month, but on this particular night my "wife" wanted to watch something with me & I wound up choosing this. She really liked it but fell asleep about 30 or so minutes in. I liked it OK. The film's biggest asset in my opinion is that the characters actually seem like real people, which isn't often the case for me with Wes Anderson's films as he tends to overdo it trying to make them quirky (or at least that's h"

"5th February, on Netflix Wes Anderson's first feature length film. Not a bad start to a fascinating filmography. It's hard to place this in a particular genre, because it blends crime films, comedy and romantic drama together quite nicely and the flow is really good throughout the film. Owen Wilson gives one of his best performances and the rest of the cast is good as well. Maybe at times Bottle Rocket is a bit uneven and it's not one of Anderson's most memorable (read: quirky) films, but one t"

"2.2. Wes Andersonin varhaisteos käynnistyy hieman yskähdellen noin rytmityksensä osalta, mutta siinä alkaa hiljalleen löytyä ohjaajan myöhemmistä töistä tuttua vaivattomuutta. Osasyynä lienee hiljattainen tutustuminen leffan mielenkiintoisiin ja vähintäänkin omintakeisiin hahmoihin. Wilsonin veljekset vetävät hyvin kaveruksina, jotka etsivät sisältöä elämäänsä tekemällä ryöstöjä - toinen ei keksi muutakaan ja toinen uskoo harkintakykyynsä liikaakin. Tietysti asiat "
