Sensitive, yet dark, 20 August 2004
10/10
Author: RockerchikML from United States

For anyone who has felt alienated in high school, this film was very intense and deeply moving. Ben Foster does a fantastic portrayal as Trevor, one student who finally lost it after being made fun of one too many times and calls in a bomb threat. The storyline was one that many are all-too familiar of. No doubt you've seen your share of kids getting picked on, if you were not that kid yourself. Bullying and school violence are serious issues, and I'm glad to see that this movie went all out and showed what the effects can be. The students that appear troubled are so for a reason. I especially felt sympathy for the trogs, the kids in black, one of the many groups of outcasts. This was a terrific, chilling film and I'm very glad that I watched it. 9.5 out of 10
