AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

asanchez44194 The movie is actually alright. But it is an EXTREME white trash movie. Everyone one is so ghetto and raunchy in the movie.

Majikat Quite a film! Whilst not every action was true, the main parts were. Pretty sexually explicit, which may not be for everyone, I think I may have even watched a slightly cut version, this time viewing. That all helps build the picture of how the group were around each other and the build up to the 'plan'. Very much one of a kind, sexual, brutal and must have been one of Brad Renfro's last appearances on film.

Screen_Blitz Larry Clark, director of the controversial coming-of-age drama 'Kids', takes a turn into a darker territory of the coming-of-age genre, diving into the story of the infamous murder that took place in Hollywood, Florida in the summer of 1993. This film centers on high school dropout Marty Puccio (played by Brad Renfro) who was friends with a popular kid down the street named Bobby Kent (played by Nick Stahl) since childhood, and was dating a sweet redhead Lisa Connolly (played by Rachel Miner) who also happened to be a high school dropout. As Marty and Bobby grew up, Bobby developed a more sadistic side and began abusing Marty, physically and mentally; and was further more cruel to Marty's girlfriend Lisa Connolly. Fed up with his abuse, Marty and Lisa conspired with some old friends: Ali Willis (played by Bijou Phillips), Donny Semenec (played by Michael Pitt), Heather Swallers (played by Kelly Garner), and Lisa's cousin Derek Dzvirko (played by Daniel Franzese); to murder Bobby, with the assistance of self-proclaimed hit-man Derek Kauffman (played by Leo Fitzpatrick).When portraying a chilling story like this, it is important not just to keep it faithful to the real-life event but also give it an authentic touch; a task director Larry Clark slightly stumbles with. There is no doubt that the story is relentlessly frightening and spine-chilling because it is. The film does a solid job at conveying a disturbing atmosphere when depicting the cruelty of youth and juvenile delinquency, the story pulls no punches to shock viewers. As the plot developments, the story hits greatly on the nihilistic nature of the characters. The screenplay is the aspect that lies the film's flaws. The story portrays the teenagers as morbidly trashy with their constant experiments with drugs like marijuana and acid, which several sources have claimed to have been happening during the events. But then there is the explicit sexual activity and nudity that runs rather rampant throughout the picture, with nonsensical nude shots of Rachel Miner and sex scenes that are borderline pornographic. The scenes portray the characters in a more exploitative than realistic manner, and the depiction can be quite appalling for many viewers. Overall, this seems to be the biggest takeaway of the authenticity of the plot, though it doesn't necessarily hurt the story. The performances are fine to very least, Nick Stahl is very convincing as the tyrant and conveys the strong sense of cruelty in his character. Bully is quite a disturbing movie inspired by a true story that leaves chills down your spine. This is film is not bad, could really use a more realistic approach rather and probably a more powerful script. This is film is definitely not recommended for those under 17, mainly for its lewd and disturbing content which can be uncomfortable to sit through.

potharias Actually it has been a few years since I watched this movie and possibly I'm not even in the position to produce spoilers . I'll tell though that I did tend to vomit at the time of the appearance of the credits.The story line"Troubled kids plan to murder their high school bully..." sounds pretty good hey?Well it is not!Things get out of hand and evolve in a giant turd of a film with the speed of light.Yes the troubled teenagers of the USA deserve their story told but not these untroubled ones.Exaggerating situations and baking-powdering parts of plot does not make this film any more shocking or real-like,it just makes it worse.To be exact and honest I'm not American and my different opinion may be based on the different culture that I grew up in but still...teens do have morals their not soul-less robots that walk the earth with the sole purpose of destroying it as this movie desperately wants us to think.I would like you to read at least this last sentence this movie will make you feel sad and disgusted,because of the movie itself or because of how badly it is made.You don't have to put yourselves in this position.Pardon me for being offending but the other reviews made me furious.
