Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

asanchez44194 The movie is actually alright. But it is an EXTREME white trash movie. Everyone one is so ghetto and raunchy in the movie.

Gretchen At some point during the first half of 'Bully' you're going to think about abandoning it. The kids are consistently irritating, banal and two-dimensional, the premise very shaky, and dissonant events in the plot unbelievable. It seems to be heading toward another 'What you did last summer' disappointment.However it's well worth getting over the hump and into the dark and interesting places it takes you. Although the viewer is probably ahead of the game, the kids in the movie don't yet know that it isn't one. We feel dread in advance, which somehow elicits more sympathy and pathos.What was initially fanciful turns out to be incredibly realistic, and that's because (which I didn't realise until the end) it's based on a true story. Things ARE chaotic and difficult to organise into a narrative and the truth has many faces. And the devil is in the detail.Some of the reviews here talk about the gruesomeness and violence. In fact the murder scene is over quite quickly and it's not of the horror genre. The real horror is in the reaction of those involved, as you would expect. Sexual content has been another reviewer issue, but I'm a grown-up and don't see it as gratuitous, more of a illustration of the hedonistic lifestyle. I didn't fully understand that until the end however.The biggest criticism I have is the soundtrack, which makes you feel like it's a film for kids and you shouldn't be watching it. Some of the sounds are intrusive and grating; perhaps that's the point, but I don't think it does the movie any favours. It's not a film just for the teens, although at first it might seem like it. If you like unpleasant surprises, handled well, Bully is definitely worth a watch.

SnoopyStyle Marty Puccio (Brad Renfro) is a life long friend to Bobby Kent (Nick Stahl). The problem is that Bobby is a violent bully who is obsessed with gay porn and uses it to dominate his friends. Marty has sex with Lisa Connelly (Rachel Miner) but Bobby beats him unconscious. Lisa discovers she's pregnant and convinces Marty to take out Bobby. She starts recruits her friends Ali Willis (Bijou Phillips), Donny Semenec (Michael Pitt), Heather Swallers (Kelli Garner) and her cousin Derek (Daniel Franzese). The incompetent teens can't get up the courage and decide to get 'hitman' Derek Kaufman (Leo Fitzpatrick) to help.This tale of disenfranchised youth is quite compelling. The young cast is haunting. Renfro, Miner and Stahl are perfect at being these kids who are spending all their time drinking, smoking and going nowhere. This is very much like River's Edge. Director Larry Clark, who directed Kids, is leering a lot at the young people's bodies. The meandering plot and the aimless teens keep the tension not that high. There are some interesting work from the actors.

Badar Munir Bully is Grim, Disturbing but tells the truth about certain section of youth. Movie was made some 10 years ago but still has a strong stamp as i can relate to it. I graduated with no clear sight but to earn good. In doing so, neither i have any plan nor anyone who can guide. Teen age life is different where you think you know everything but in reality it is not. We all know that. But, still we all make mistakes which we regret throughout whole life. Bully shows us the same. Simple bunch of teens with no clear motive in life but to enjoy time plans a crime, rethinks that, gets the help, execute the crime and life is never the same again. One murder is committed but it ruined 7 lives.
