I really liked this movie. It was really well filmed and the acting was great. Completely original, and definitely rent worthy. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More 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.

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. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More If you like movies where it takes for ever to get to the good stuff and when you think it's finally getting there it ends without finishing the story, then this is the movie for you. I cant give the plot away but lets see what the true consequences of the kids actions are dont just go to black, not even fade to black. This movie could have been so much better.

Read More I don't remember now why I added this movie to my "Q" in the first place -- maybe it was recommended based on another film I'd rated, or maybe I read something about it. Whatever the reason, it was hardly worth it. You can sum up the entire plot of this film in a couple of sentences: Kids decide to take revenge on fat bully, then change their minds but end up "accidentally" killing him anyway. Then they decide to cover up the killing, but change their minds again and confess to it in the end. There -- I just saved you an hour and half. Use it to do something more interesting with your life than watching this dreary film. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No |
