Really Surprised!
... View MoreI am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
... View MoreThe acting in this movie is really good.
... View MoreA clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
... View MoreAs someone who has been the subject of harassment at home I found the movie too hard to watch all the way through. I simply cant condone seeing harassers portrayed as kids having fun when the reality is they devastate lives. Celebrating gangstalking like this is grotesque.
... View MoreUntil shortly before the end, it does not differ much from your typical thriller for teenagers, those that include technological devices (cell phones, cameras, etc ...), in addition to, of course, stupid teenagers.The end almost redeems it. I say almost, because the rest is an average movie.
... View MoreNot a big fan of the 'footage' style film, but overlooking that aspect, the storyline is important because it stresses how our perceptions of people and situations define our realities and thus what we think, say, and do. The story could have been told in a shorter period of time, however. Love the powerful Black presences.
... View MoreFor those who haven't seen Alpha Dog, it alternates between flashbacks and present day in a courtroom. In that film, you know what's going to happen, just not how, which is fine for a documentary.However, it's terrible for suspense! I knew exactly how it was going to end the moment the cop gave his testimony! In short, the movie pretends to be Disturbia, told like Alpha Dogs, and ends with a twist akin to Gran Torino. As for the movie's commentary on trying juveniles as adults, I am not a fan. Out of fairness for those under 18, you COULD treat them as adults under the law, BUT you would also have to give them the right to work, vote, drink, smoke, and consent to sex. You can't throw children in prison without lowering the age of what it means to be an adult.
