Hellion
Hellion (also known as Retribution) is a 2014 American drama film written and directed by Kat Candler.
Breaking Bads Aaron Paul stars in this riveting drama about a family under siege. Hard-drinking Texas single dad Hollis (Paul) struggles to raise his two boys, including rebellious teenager Jacob. Seething with anger, Jacob finds release in the high-risk, white-knuckle world of motocross-but his increasingly reckless behaviour threatens to spin out of control. Academy Award nominee Juliette Lewis co-stars in this thrilling saga of fathers and sons that builds towards a heart-stopping climax, all set to an electrifying heavy metal soundtrack.
Critic Reviews:
- " Kat Candler's exploration of toxic male adolescence is handsome and haunting, with a star-making performance by young star Josh Wiggins. " – MaryAnn Johanson
- " Candler paints this broken family with an authenticity that draws one in and forces us to feel their suffocating inability to escape their own pain. " – Jared Mobarak
- " Hellion paints a plaintive portrait of a family trapped in the bottom echelon of America's middle class. " – Austin Trunick
