No! They don't mention Hydrazine's dangers including it's poisonous aspects and contact issues. I doubt using it with kerosene would get you anywhere other than in a hospital.
They treat the whole act of sending people into space much less seriously that I would like for people supposedly supporting science and engineering should. They act like Farmer is the only person in the world with the goal of privately entering space and make the FAA a villain in actively trying to stop him. Which at least is currently the opposite of what the FAA is trying to do. A tip of the hat to Rutan or Musk by way of a cameo by them would have been appropriate as well.
The tiny parachute at the end was just the last straw and oh yeah Farmer leaning against the rear end of the capsule, which should be superheated, just after exiting it!
It is a uniformed dumb movie! Unflattering to NewSpace, Science and Engineering!
