This is the sort of teen movie they should show in schools. It's an inteligent look at bullying and what happens when kids take things into their own hands. The film features a strong performance from Rory Culkin who is the target of the schoolyard bully.
This film is absorbing and makes good use of its rural setting with strong cinematography and direction from debutant, Jacob Aaron Estes.
Unfortunately i hated it but thats because I enjoy a good plot and a bit of action and this film had neither. When I rented this film i didn't know anything about it. I kept waiting and waiting for the film to get going...but then it ended. Maybe I'm lacking the compassion to relate to this film or maybe it's just complete rubbish. To be honest I think it's more likely to be the latter. That's 2 hours of my life wasted.
