Adolescents criminels

Good: The pacing is well done, enough to keep you wanting to know what happens at the end. Acting is decent enough.

Bad: Many other things. With a movie name that has 'Teenage' in it, you know to expect some dumb decisions. Problem is you cannot have characters that create Sherlock-like plans one minute then do many other things on the level of a bratty first grader five minutes later. And this includes parents and cops. The ending(if you are over age 16) will make you say WTF. This movie plays more like a long after-school TV special and not exaggerating that last statement.

Its clearly a television movie but there's no major flaw that could be pointed out. The pacing is done correctly and the plot is engaging, enough. Every single character has a motivation and (sometimes weird) background. The message is flimsy at best.

The cinematography, though at times rather unimaginative and uninspired, oftentimes blossoms into relative sublimity.

The score is nothing truly remarkable but does its job quite fine. It adds tension to already well-crafted scenes of great suspense with great effect. Could be described as penile even flacid so...

Overall it was engaging enough to watch through.

Best movie I've seen with my eyeballs HANDS DOWN! stick it to the naysayers!!Naysayers!!! How dare they! This is a true masterpiece. Brilliance overLOAD. Perfect, exquisite, gorgeousness.

Cassie (Abbie Cobb) is a reluctant bank teller for her mother Joyce (Maeve Quinlan). Then 3 robbers come in. Cassie recognizes one of them as her best friend Abbie (Cassi Thomson), and she's taken hostage. She crashes the armor truck and injures her other friend Grace (Davida Williams). She helps them take care of Grace and finds out the real reason for the robbery. The other girl Marie (Augie Duke) is older and is doing it for the money with her boyfriend Nick (James Ferris). Meanwhile police agent Mendoza (Rosa Blasi) suspects that Cassie is actually in on the robbery.

It's an ambitious bank heist story, and a passable Lifetime movie. The girls are perfectly likable. The dialog is a little clunky at times. It starts off slowly, but it gets better. However the ambitious plot goes over the edge with a lack of overall style and competent action directions. A big screen movie would push the action to the next level, but this just doesn't have the next gear.

Very worth a look see. A movie for the family. Not an Oscar contender, which is a good thing these days.
