Bottle Rocket

Bottle Rocket (1996)
Wes Anderson
Criterion 450

Three friends plan their life of crime, but are sidetracked by love and dissension.

James - A truly complete film, with every piece put there intentionally, Anderson's first film is a work of art. A character showpiece from the start, the Texas backdrop provides a superb canvas for their development.
A+

Britney - Not Wes Anderson's best film but an excellent addition to the Criterion Collection. It reminded me of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas- but better! I don't usually like plots that take place in a Texas desert, but I enjoyed this one.
