First off, this is one of THOSE movies I hate for stringing me along. It had the decent reviews and started out neither too good or bad. It is always on the verge of getting better but... it never improves. These types of movies do succeed in the development of suspense. Unfortunately there is never any tension of the dramatic type.
It starts out with the "bad influence"? I'm not sure if I was supposed to hate this character as much as I did. This kid had no redeeming qualities at all. In real life, everyone had something going for them. The rest of the characters are presented as negative and/or ineffectual. I really only liked the horse and thought the "nice" kid was "OK". The ended and it hadn't taught me anything. Obviously I am disappointed by this film. It was like being stuck in limbo with a bunch of people I didn't like. Even more disappointing is the IMDb score of 7.5. I doubt I would have viewed this title if not for the reviews. They now seem so misleading that I felt the need to log on and add my two cents.
