Pretty close to reality
Added 11/10/2009
Drinking and drugging are the only way of life for the affluent teens and 20s in this almost true-crime drama. The big surprise is the high quality of Justin Timberlake's acting here as the accomplice to a kidnapping that goes all wrong. Great soundtrack. The 'big stars,' i.e. Bruce Willis and Sharon Stone play parents, but they don't have a lot to do. The kids are the most riveting here, and the limited vocabulary they employ is very close to real. This is highly watchable.

Disturbing.
Added 10/12/2009
This film has great insight into how such a crime could take place. Society has laid the groudwork (Unpunished Incivility, Rewarded Selfeshness, Celebrity worship) and then wonders "how could this happen".
Nice camera work. Good acting.

A movie I had missed in theatres
Added 9/30/2009
I saw this on cable and had never heard of it before. The title was strange, to say the least. but, it is based on a true story. So sad that any gang can murder other young persons. A very well told story and a very unhappy ending. I have watched it several times. I also bought it on Amazon, the place where the price is always right. Well, most of the time the price is right. I bought the regular DVD as well as the HD version. I also bought it as a gift to a few friends.
