Review of Dare (2013) by Justin K — 17 Oct 2009

***1/2 (out of four).

Adam Salky's "Dare" starts out as a very typical high school comedy/drama, but something happens as the film goes on that captivates. It becomes clear that this is much deeper and far more daring than your typical teen movie.

Three high school students become tangled up in a bizarre triangle that features Emmy Rossum, Zach Gilford and Ashley Springer.

The film explores sexuality and acting out on those feelings unlike most teen movies, with the exception of "Cruel Intentions". It is refreshing and a special mention should be given to Zach Gilford (Friday Night Lights) on his tremendously bold performance.
