    It almost seems as if their were two writers...One that wrote the first half - and one that wrote the second half. The second half is filled with unlikely choices and unrealistic reactions under any circumstances...Lets just say that any kid under the age of 18 (under pressure or not)...knows that (almost) no matter what they do they are not going to "go to jail for the rest of their lives"..certainly in the case we are presented with in this film alll but one would know that ...they could NOT have been talked into doing what they did..it was unbelievable to me after that. On the flip side of it all - I do think to it's credit - the acting was top notch - great performances by such a young cast of characters...story line shows the consequences fo the choices we make. Shows that good/bad in people cannot always be so clearly defined. We are all capable of both. Great symbolic references throughout the movie and a wonderful wonderful score to this movie.

    This is not a terrible movie. I enjoyed watching it. Scary how kids can get themselves into situations that they don't want to be a part of, and how they can get bullied and intimidated by others. Not appropriate for kids. Language is inappropriate for young teens. Parents strongly cautioned.
