This movie is like an afterschool special with violence and bad language added. It is good, however, when addressing the "loyalty" kids have for each other. The rule is, never snitch on a friend, no matter what. The question is, who are you being loyal to? A person who could rape or murder someone is not someone you should be loyal to. He's someone who could turn on you. You might have thought he was your friend, but how well did you really know him? What else is he capable of doing? Should you be loyal to a person like that? Would a person like this, have the same loyalty for you when the chips are down? The uncompromising ending is a good lesson for teenagers, without being preachy. I suggest parents show their teenagers this film when talking to them about "loyalty" and how far it should go.
