"Hellion" is incredible. It tells the story of Hollis Wilson, played by Aaron Paul, and his two sons, Jacob, played by Josh Wiggins, and Wes, played by Deke Garner. The family is in turmoil after Hollis' wife passes away. Jacob is a troublemaker, who terrorizes the town, with his voilent antics. And Wes is right behind him. But the only thing that keeps him tame is motorcross. Hollis tries to maintain adulthood and fatherhood.
This film is great mainly because of how great the cast was. This was Josh Wiggins first film and he nailed this role. His performance was one of the best on screen and he deserves recognition for it. Juliette Lewis is also a great supporting role for this film. One of the perks was having Aaron Paul in this film. Paul is one of the best actors in Hollywood right now because of his intense role on "Breaking Bad." He was so raw on screen and it is so visible in any role he has been in. This film is amazing because of the great characters and the raw edginess throughout.
Grade = 87/100 = B+
