The Rocket

A nice family oriented inspirational film about young Brady Tutton who sustains a severe head injury and is banned from playing football at his new high school where his father happens to be the football coach.

Tutton is not a muscular kid so he could be nothing else but a running back. But he's a jock through and through. He decides to go out for cross country running and he's just what their rather mediocre track team needed for an edge.

The Rocket was shot on a low budget, but the acting is moving and sincere. Especially from Tutton.

A fine family film.

The message is good, but it takes sheer will-power to not turn it off due to the writing, acting, production quality, even for an independent film. For example: Kid says "my dad's the coach", Guidance Counselor responds "yeah, he's your dad right?" ... uh...

Shocking film with poor actors. Could have been good but nooooo

What's the point of writing or directing a sports movie with zero awareness for how the sport actually works???

A nice, heartwarming story of a boy who overcomes a brain injury to become a track star. However, I have never seen such horrible acting in my life. Don't water your time with this one.
