The lack of self-reflection on the part of the makers of this film scares me. Every line delivered might as well be the cliché of "Life is pain!" All the bullies are shallow douche bags that are too easy to hate and the protagonist is so drab and 'poor me' that you just want him to top himself inside of five minutes of watching him on screen.
The acting and effects are what you would expect but don't drag the film down anywhere near as much as the poor writing, which really does seem like it came from an angst-ridden teenager. In some ways you could say that this makes the film an accurate portrayal of the characters involved, but all it serves to do is make everyone unlikeable and each scene cringe-inducing in its transparency.
Overall this film will only really please those who identify with this kind of mindset, at one point the 'hero' talks about how he'd love to get a tank and crush all the people that he hates, and we are supposed to sympathise with this! Otherwise this movie is a pain to watch, recommended only for joke viewings with friends, just so long as they aren't in their own angsty teenage phase.
