Melissa L I don't know how I missed this movie as I've watched many mid-to-late '80s movies when they were just made during that time period and beyond. This was a great movie with many stars before they made it big. The storyline was tragic, and it was very well-acted. Recommended viewing. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/12/25 Full Review Terry T. One of Keanu’s best roles. Very thought provoking film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/07/25 Full Review Jonty S I really fancied both Keanu Reeves and Ione Skye! I LOVED it when they got together! I wished they could have given each other a good spanking :) Seriously, it was a good film. Disturbing when you realise that all that surreal nastiness was based on a real story. A shame that the evil perpetrator was, in real life, eventually released from prison :( Let's hope something unfortunate happens to him one day. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review thiago s Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom, e o drama deu leve salvada no filme. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/07/25 Full Review Nick O Pure, unadulterated teen angst fueled by beer, weed, heavy metal and maybe just a little bit of random homicidal tendencies within your inner peer circle. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Sarfaraz A Neal Jimenez wrote the script for this crime thriller, which Tim Hunter directed. The cast includes Keanu Reeves, Ione Skye Leitch, Crispin Glover, and Dennis Hopper. The plot of the film is loosely based on an actual murder that occurred in 1981. A young obese guy murders his friend by strangling her and leaves her nude body by the river. He brings a couple of school acquaintances, both boys and girls, to see the dead body. Earlier, a 12-year-old boy saw the dead body. Crispin, one of the friends who appear to be the boss, wants to assist cover up the murder, despite the wishes of the others. Keanu, upset by what he seen, makes an anonymous call to the police to notify them. We see Keanu's younger brother, who is pretty mean to his sister, is also a weed addict, and brandishes a gun at his older brother. At least some of these youngsters want to do good, but they are also frightened of upsetting their boss friend. The film contains strong acting and some tense scenes near the conclusion.
