You don’t know who to trust throughout the movie. Family betrayal and false friendships are prevalent. Even young teens at the age of fifteen are shown using drugs, swearing and having premarital sex. The drug use is amazingly high considering that the whole movie revolves around the illegal drug market and the negative consequences that come from being connected to dealers and users. There are few if any adults in the movie who promote morals or righteousness in any of their children. However, you can’t solely blame the immoral actions of the movie solely on the teenagers. The main characters are all troubled young adults, most of which sell and use drugs for a living. The film progresses quickly, taking place I believe in southern California. I personally enjoyed this movie a lot, probably because it was based on a true story. Neutral-I saw this movie earlier this year with a group of about ten friends. The kids who directly killed the victim were not as evil as the leader who directed the hit, but because they did not have a moral compass and were young and naiive their cruel action changed not only their life but those of the victims relatives. The kids lived an amoral life, with drugs and casual sex, and even though some knew the victim was kidnapped none called the police, thus possibly saving his life. This tragedy could’ve been avoided had the children in the movie had moral guidance from their self absorbed parents and through Christianity. If you have children that want to behave in what one would consider non-Christian behavior-to be with people they consider part of the “in” crowd, and they are older teens, you may want them to watch this movie. I know from reading many other reviews that many Christians walk out from a movie they find offensive but oftentimes I wished they stayed because oftentimes there is a lesson to be learned, how living a life without Christ, leads to tragedy. Positive-I understand most Christian’s desire to see movies on the level of “Sound of Music,” no gratuitous violence or sex or curse words, that may have a morally uplifting theme, and this is definitely not such a movie.
