Hellion is a coming-of-age drama film directed by Kat Candler. The movie tells the story of Jacob, a young teen living in a small town in Texas who is struggling to cope with the death of his mother. He is obsessed with motocross and heavy metal music and constantly gets into trouble with the law.
After his delinquent behavior gets out of hand, Child Protective Services (CPS) places his younger brother Wes with their aunt. Wes is a quiet and reserved boy who is struggling to adjust to his new environment. Jacob, on the other hand, is reckless and emotionally distant from his father Hollis, who he blames for their mother's death.
As Jacob tries to win back custody of his brother, he begins to confront his own demons and comes to terms with his grief. With the help of his father and a community of motocross riders, he tries to turn his life around and become a positive role model for Wes.
The movie features strong performances from its cast, particularly Aaron Paul as Hollis, and newcomer Josh Wiggins as Jacob. The film also explores themes of family, grief, and redemption in a nuanced and sensitive way. Overall, Hellion is a powerful and moving drama that is both heart-wrenching and uplifting.
