this movie blew

I was drinkin a lot when I watched this movie. For me and my friends it wasn't bad for a late night drinkin movie. It kept us interested in the story, wonderin what would happen next. It wasn't nearly the best movie in the world. But it was what it was....entertaining.....

I'll have to disagree with you, I thought the movie was genius, few serious movies grab me, this one did. It made me really think...

Who said they thought it was too dark or too real? No one. I think it was quite the opposite.

It always amazes me how people with so little knowledge and experience of life and the world... the wider world beyond the self-inflicted horror of inner-city USA, expect others to 'wake up' and 'realise' what's going on, or dare to suggest that they know 'how the world really is' or 'how people really can be.' I've seen this argument used so many times to excuse forays into bad taste and other questionable and voyeuristic exercises, that it has become something of a stale and clichéd arrogance that should never go unchallenged.
That aside, I would have to say that any point to this film eludes me. In fact I believe it has no point and serves no purpose at all, other than to further an obsession that American popular culture seems to have with violence and degredation. The poor script, mis-directed histrionics, and the obvious technical limitations of this production only serve underline the lack of any real power or significance in the subject matter. It is a clumsy and immature piece of work devoid of irony, devoid of hope... the hope which motivates the greater part of humanity to maintain their dignity and will to survive, however harsh their existence may be. It would be a grave conceit to think that the characters in this film have any problems at all by comparison to those faced daily by people who live in real fear from hunger or oppression, yet who can still find the beauty and meaning in life.

This movie is far too poorly made to be disturbing. I can forgive the low budget and stilted acting, but the story is unconvincing to begin with. "You're killing yourself? Wow, cool dude, count me in" etc etc

We all know most teenagers are pretty dumb, but not THIS dumb.

This movie was enjoyable, but could have been much better;

- Brian needed a bigger role. I don't remember a single scene from his camera, which is a pity because Cody McMains is a decent actor.

- The "Do you believe in God?" was such a goddamn cliche. It may or may not have come from the Columbine shooting, but now it is getting real annoying. It also got mentioned in 'Liberty Stands Still', for example.

- Characters who weren't the least bit concerned by their friend's suicidal intention. Furthermore, characters who decide to kill themselves just because Scott was doing it. I mean, some had genuine reasons, like Patrick and Trudy, but the rest of them seemed fairly content, and never really explained what was so bad about their lives anyway.

- That annoying notion in teen dramas that dictates that people can be killed instantly with a shot to the chest. Furthermore, the only character he shot twice was Scott, and Scott didn't die instantly! Goddamit that annoyed me.

- Scott's "No limits" speech, correct as it was, yet the only thing Scott did was backchat a teacher. Whoa, how incredibly limitless.

When we are moving at the speed of life, we are bound to collide with each other
