CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

SnoopyStyle White Mike (Chace Crawford) is a former rich kid. His family lost their fortune after his late mother's cancer battle. He became a drug dealer to the rich kids from the Upper East Side. He buys from Lionel (50 Cent) in Harlem. His girlfriend Molly Norton (Emma Roberts) comes from a poorer family and doesn't know about his drug dealing. His cousin Charlie is high on the new drug Twelve. Mike, Hunter McCullough, and Charlie are best friends since childhood. Charlie tries to rob Lionel and gets shot. Lionel also kills Nana who witnessed the shooting. There's a party at the home of nerd Chris Kenton (Rory Culkin). Queen Bee Sara Ludlow, Gabby (Zoë Kravitz), Jessica Brayson (Emily Meade) are some of the rich young people attending. Chris' unstable older brother Claude comes home going AWOL from his boot camp school.Joel Schumacher seems to be inspired by Gossip Girl and not in a good way. There are too many characters and too much story which keeps piling on in the first act. I don't usually like narrations but that many characters do need somebody to keep track. This is over-stuffed and a mess. At least, there are lots of pretty young people. It doesn't make this any good.

gladstonejr-450-236634 Before I begin, I think this movie doesn't paint the best picture for us (teens) in the UES- but whatever.I really enjoy the thoughtfulness and captivating scenes in the movie, totally keeps you interested - I just wish there was a little more to it. I don't see why this movie is getting slammed by so many critics and people, I actually thinks its quite entertaining and well put together:I didn't read the book yet (I'm still waiting for it to come) but from what i heard about the book, this movie stay to the book, which is rear in Hollywood these days. It would be interesting to see just how the book and movie parallel each other.The only knack I may have for this movie is the narration, which was a bit much - but still necessary to keep the movie together without having the characters say too much or "over-do" their part. So its like a catch 22.Otherwise, a very good movie that is highly recommended!

jatng2012 Movie is based on the fast life. and losses and I don't know why it got such a low rating. but these movie was played very well. with good actors. even 50 cent did a very good job. Over all for me is 10/10. I found it to be very well played and at least these movie was not turned into junky suicide kind of movie it ended very well for me I would of like the ending to shown the after a couple years in so as most movies do but it had a nice ending so can't complain.I recommended these movie to any one who is young between 16-25 is not much of action but more like a story about a none drug user who sells pot and has a tragic lost and things go wrong but is more then you can ask for.

gypsyadm I didn't go to film school. I don't know much about film-MAKING. But I'm pretty good at knowing what makes a flick "good", "bad", & downright awful.In my humble, amateur, film-reviewing opinion, this movie was a nightmare from beginning to...well...I couldn't even finish it. I stopped it 25 minutes before the end.For me, what makes a movie good/great is BELIEVING THAT THE CHARACTERS ARE REAL. When I watch the actor/actress, I don't see THEM. I see, hear, FEEL their character.And what makes a flick "bad" for me is, well, simply NOT BELIEVING THE CHARACTER. Yes. I'm very green at writing reviews! This film seemed like it was trying to be an updated version of Less Than Zero. ?? Don't know. But what I witnessed was a bunch of young actors WHO NEED TO RETURN TO ACTING CLASSES.From the actresses who SEEMED to be trying so hard to come across as "Mean Girls" (Lindsay Lohan & Rachel Mcadams were Believable 'Mean Girls' to me) to the actors who -- I HIGHLY DOUBT HAVE EVER EVEN SMOKED JOINTS -- much less SOLD ANY (ANY illicit drugs), KIEFER SUTHERLAND'S VOICE was the only aspect of this nightmare that I sort of liked! SAVE YOUR MOOLA!
