This starts out like a generic murder mystery and doesn't really go anywhere from there. The plot basically goes like this two bored, rich high school kids plan and commit what they think is the perfect murder, and in the end it turns in to more than they bargained for. I will say this right now I didn't particullarly like this film the only reedemable quality is the performances. Sandra Bullock, Ryan Gosling, and Michael Pitt are phenomenal. Other than that it was predictable and not at all entertaining.
