This plot and topic could have made a great movie. The writing made no sense. More law enforcement would be involved if two murders took place associated with the same campus. There is a video with faces clearly shown, no superintendent or principal would dare try a cover-up like this. The acting was awful; completely unbelievable. Seems like they were vilifying Texas high school football for no reason. Again, the plot and theme would make a great movie had it not been for the terrible writing, unbelievable sequences, terrible acting and overall sensibility. If I could give it a lower score, I would.

I rented the film on Blockbuster because it supposedly had a 7.8 rating on IMDb, according to Blockbuster... While watching, I checked IMDb myself because I couldn't see how it deserved such a high score-and no, it wasn't accurate as you can see... It's not a bad film, but something feels off. The tone is raw, unpolished, and not the least bit ingratiating but sometimes it feels kind of home made. However, the result is that it conveys a sense that you're not watching a film, but something very real. Some characters are portrayed almost parodically, which adds to the rawness. But it doesn't quite hit the mark.

The flashback scenes are well thought out and clearly connected to the present, but they sometimes feel a bit too contrived. And then there's something about the settings that's distracting. The characters feel "placed" there, like they don't really belong. I don't know if that was intentional, but either way, I don't see that it serves a greater purpose. The home is awful, with its white, shiny floors and islands of outdated furniture. That detail initially made me think something was seriously wrong within the family... Fairly inconsistent, but a good story, understated, and well-acted. And a big plus for not pandering to the audience with cheap tricks.

The plot is so full of holes that it would make swiss cheese jealous, theres no character development and a clear lack of both research and a basic understanding of crime and law enforcement. The writing comes across as a highschool drama writing assignment and the acting is Q List non-celebrity at it's finest. This movie appears to feature an entire ensemble of actors that have seemingly been rejected from every hemorrhoid cream casting call from the last 10 years. I truly think the lines were read from cue cards. There is no real emotion portrayed despite the extremely sensitive subject matter. It's truly a shame, this had great potential and it was decimated by horrendous writing and acting.

Oof Justin Hunt this is shameful. It seems like this documentary has good reviews probably by the film crew themselves only. There is no story line. It remind me of a 4th grade play. Such an embarrassment to talk about such a sensitive topic in this child-like way. These are professional topics and should be handled by sensitive and respectful people, and Justin did not offer that to this topic. Before you do films on sensitive topics Justin, please get some sensitivity training. You had no right being the face of a film like this. Hope we don't see any more films about sensitive topics from you.

I can't understand why this movie has any good reviews. This would have to be the worst movie I have seen in a long time. The acting was terrible, every single person is robotic and it's like they are reading their lines with no emotion. The cinematography is dreadful and just adds to the movies awfulness . The story line is weak and does not engage you in the story. It's hard to care about any of the characters. The sad thing the concept of the movie is important to tell. The impact of social media and the things that people do to get clicks is heartbreaking. This movie could have been so much better to get the message heard.
