    • Crazy credits
      There is no music over the end credits, only the sounds of the ocean, the wind and the seagulls.

    6/10
    Red Rocket
    6/10 - Simon Rex proves that he is certainly an actor capable of drama films and someone to take seriously, but as the credits abruptly began to roll, I could not help but ponder what the meaning of the film was and why I spent over 2 hours investing in it.
