nlytnd_1 Is this how adults think kids act/dialogue… do adults really think kids are this stupid behind closed doors? No wonder why kids are jackholes, because they're treated with such condescension and given such little respect. I can't stand kids, yet apparently, I inadvertently find myself being one of the most empathetic people when it comes to kids. The level of the two kid's stupidity in this movie (or the writer's stupidity) is the equivalent of dying from dehydration because they forgot they were thirsty type s__t! And I'm not talking about the kids taking the cop car either. I'm talking about virtually all their dialoguing and actions outside of this. However, they did go from the extreme of running up to the cop car, touching it, then running away (I swear I'm not making this up) to a minute later, putting the keys in the ignition and driving away? Who writes this stuff? At one point they take the riffles out of the cop car and they're trying to literally shoot one another with bullet proof vests on, but luckily for them they didn't figure out how to shut off the safety. So, imagine being a 9-year-old who found a person all bloody and bound in the trunk of a cop car, who's crying and pleading for his life before during and after you open the trunk. What would be the first thing you would say or do? These kids stick riffles in the guy's face and ask if he's a bad guy. Apparently, they would kill him if he said yes (now we find out later that the kids didn't think the guns worked, however there are contradictions, like at one point the one kid suggest shooting the ties off). I'm not saying two 9-year-olds wouldn't be cautious. He is in the trunk of a Sheriff car after all, but the guy's tied up and bleeding. I guarantee you that 100% of non- mentally challenged people 5 and up would first wonder and ask, what happened before anything else (also who are you, are you OK). Skepticism would possibly come after the confusion/wonder and the questions, not out of the gate. At this point it's not outside the lines of reason for the kids to free a bound man pleading … that's a realistic kind of kid stupid. It's the conditions they have, which make it such a gargantuan insult to kid's intelligence. If he doesn't tell their grandma, mom, step dad or any of their teachers, he can go. You've got to be F-ing kidding me? Do I even have to break down the many ways this is beyond the realm of stupidity for a 9-year-old? At first the kids don't have anything to cut the ties with, so the one kid says let's shoot them off and proceeds to point the gun at the ties which are directly in front of the man's face. Even if action movies were the extent of a 9-year old's knowledge on guns, a kid would have to know that the bullet would pass through the plastic into the mans face. You can literally go line by line in this movie picking it apart, for example, continuing from there. The boys must find something to cut the man loose. The one kid finds a pocket knife from the car and tells his friend as he's handing it to him, "the tweezers and the tooth pick are missing, but it has the knife part". Who gives a s__t about the tooth pick and the tweezers. Why mention this? Then just before they're about to cut him loose the one kid says, "you can't have this cop car, it's our cop car, we found it and we're not going to let you have it, okay". I f__king give up! These kids aren't considered mentally challenged either. The dude who wrote this dialogue is beyond ignorant… just because he was obviously this stupid when he was 9 years old, doesn't mean that you could find two kids on a continent let alone in the same area to be that stupid and it's extremely ignorant to think that there would be. So, they free the guy, he turns out to be bad and he throws them in the back of the cruiser. As the man goes off to go do something about 200 meters away the one kid whispers "look" and the other kid loudly goes "shhhhhhhhhh" and the other kid whispers back "he can't hear us". So, these kids are essentially just now figuring out how sound works for the first time. To make a long story short the inevitable happens and the one kids shoots himself. It really doesn't matter if the kid/s live or not in this instance, because we know within a year or so the odds are astronomically in favor of both kids being dead… it goes against the laws of nature that these kids made it to the age of 9 as it is.

sakibkhan-16176 (May contain a little bit of SPOILER but it won't destroy the joy, I promise)People won't call me mad if I say I see a very similarity in build- up of this movie with 'No Country for Old Men'. Similar Rural area that all the mess take place in. Slow growth of tension that culminates at the end and a BUMP just before the final credits roll down. Wow. I miss that cowboy hat though :)But this flick should really get more attention on its own merit. Kevin Bacon plays out the sinister persona very well. I love his character in this movie that I had been waiting so long since 'X-Men First Class'. Kids are good in their playful way of looking at things and they left me to know more of what happened to them.

Que no me toque un alto delante Plot: Two friends adrift in the countryside find and steal a police car, unaware that belongs to a sheriff of questionable ethics amid very shady business. The chase begins. The plot is a poor idea, with a good starting point, but with little expansion, little development. We can see a type-casted Bacon as the villain, which we've already seen. The child Freedson-Jackson does well. To my surprise, I found it to be a very poor film. With a kick-off that could have developed into a great picture, but stays as a flat thing without any surprises. With many bumps in the story, the story leaves us out and lacks elements to engage us in the plot and feel the tension of a genre film. The first moments of the boys in the car are very fresh and full of childlike innocence, but then nothing big happens. Perhaps the idea of ​​the argument would have worked for a short film. A better introduction is missing and a much much better finale. Entertainment level: moderate.

DogFilmCritic Ill be as honest as i can be with this movie, i particularly liked it still not great in my opinion, it's an 80-minute movie, the distance proves too great for the thin plotting to cover.Thats my main problem how little its explained of the premise, specially with the Kevin Bacon character, theirs a few plot holes with him, if you pay attention to his parts you will notice some inconsistence regarding who he is. The two boys (James Freedson-Jackson and Hays Wellford) are cussing their way through a Colorado town after running away from home( its never explain why).They find a cop car in the middle of no where and decided the best thing to do is steal it.The problem in this movie is the shapelessness of the story.There's minimal character development others character we don't know anything about, and focuses more in the amount of tension it can deliver with the stillness of the scenes...and there's plenty of that in this movie to a point it feels more like padding time.There are fine performances in this film specially from James Freedson-Jackson and Hays Wellford, but plot and pacing in this movie is not enough to make it more gripping towards the audience.
