This film was, oddly, an entertaining trip through female teenage angst & alienation. And that was, upon reflection, the disturbing part of this--the alienation. These girls were all pretty messed up, seemed to have little relationship with their parents, and were heavily involved in establishing their own little world to the exclusion of anyone else except other alienated girls.
An the symbolisms were evidence of this: Jolie's character holding a knife at the throat of a boy, and them switching weapons and holding a pistol at the head of one of the girl's father.
As the father of my child, a daughter, there was something disturbing about the underlying theme of this movie.
