Review of Bully (2001) by Shark M — 21 Apr 2010
This movie redefines disgusting and disturbing. This may have been a good film if it had accurately portrayed the real-life story of this horrible crime and if the characters had not been so exaggerated.
This resembles a disturbing, messed-up porno which somehow veers off into a plan to kill one of the kids in the group. The friendships and relationships are hardly built throughout this whole ride which causes you to disbelieve anybody cared for anyone in this group of kids.
It also makes you wonder, "where were the parents in all of this?" I don't think this story or the characters of the accused were accurately portrayed. It seems it was just a way to exploit this true story to make money and a film.
If anyone is as f***ed up as these kids in this film, then we are all doomed. It is just a bunch of skanky job-less school drop outs who sit around doing drugs and having sex with everyone in the group, and even sometimes out of the group.
I would rather settle for the real footage, and even that is highly disturbing. To sum it up, somehow I couldn't turn away from this film because I couldn't believe how anyone would take on such roles, but altogether, I hated it and I believe that is the first time I have ever truly hated a movie.
