Overrated

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Such a waste of time. Seriously. I could watch a better movie. Not only there was absolutely nothing thrilling going on, the entire time I hoped for those stupid teenagers to drop dead. Also, the court scenes were absolutely pointless. They didn't contribute to the plot whatsoever. The plot twist- nothing surprising nor shocking. Whoever was quoted in the trailer that said "would make Alfred Hitchcock proud"- please kill yourself. All in all- a terrible movie. Well, at least I didn't pay for it.

Twist at the end???? The only thing that kept me interested is because reviewers were saying the end had a huge twist and made it worth watching the other boring, miserable minutes. nope! Pass on the movie it's not worth it. And very predictable.

I start to see this movie, this James Caan and that's not little. When I take half of the footage, I do not care if it looks like it's shot by some school children, it seems like it has no budget, I only care, let the film begin. Let the intrigue begin. But no, I'm sorry, it's not going to start.I can not put a zero so I put a one. They have made me lose time, so I can not appreciate anything at all.Neither the photograph, nor the address, nor the interpretations, nor the script do not work. Nothing is saved.Do not waste your time

First off, there are several good reviews on this film, but be careful not to read to much and spoil the build up. I'm mainly writing because the Parent Guide was filled out incorrectly in some areas and not filled out at all in others, so unbeknownst to me, I sat down to watch this with my teen son and immediately realized that this movie may not be appropriate for him to see. Profanity: Lots! I mean these are high school aged boys, basically troublemakers, who use a lot of "colorful languages". Sex & Nudity: While there isn't sexual intercourse per se, there are scenes with sexual innuendo; a girl takes her top off as they are about to have sex; as one boy watches a computer monitor you hear sounds alluding to a porn video; several posters of voluptuous women (including Debbie Does Dallas) are on the boy's bedroom wall; etc. Alcohol & Drugs: The underage boys are drinking beers throughout the movie and the absentee, single mom even catches them and just says, "you can at least hide the beer cans"; the boys have a party which includes alcohol, smoking, drugs, sex, etc. I hope to get this info entered on the Parent Guide, but I don't have the authorization to do so yet. All that said, this movie is intriguing. Although it may seem slow or monotonous to watch people watching people (filmed mostly with hand-cams and hidden camera footage) it builds suspense/curiosity and keeps you guessing and captivated. This film has multiple layers that build on each other and as the puzzle pieces come together it comes to a satisfactory conclusion... well mostly ;)
