1/10
Exploitive, Disgusting, Unoriginal, Piece of Trash, Makes Karla decent by comparison.

First and foremost, I am not slamming this movie for it being a movie about Columbine. Like many tragedies before and after, a movie was bound to be made about it. The only Praise I would give this, is that it's one of the few movies out there that tries to do it in the point of view of the victim rather than the killer, but that's the only praise I am giving it.

I have never ever seen a biopic movie horrifically bad since the Karla Homolka biopic starring Laura Prepon. You people managed to finally do it and make a movie about Karla Homolka, another exploitive POS biopic that paints a criminal mastermind as one of Bernardo's victims, look decent by comparison.

First let's get this out of the way. The movie's aesop seems to convey that Christianity is the way to go and that people like Eric and Dylan are evil Atheists that don't believe in God. I've looked the actual tragedy up, in no way shape or form was the shootings religiously motivated. Yet here they are shooting Christians only instead of I don't know everyone they could aim their guns at.

Second, at first I felt bad for the families of the victims as well as the parents of the killers being exploited by these people. Only for me to find out later that not only was this based off a book by the victim's mother, but she served as Executive Producer of this POS movie. That means she paid money and had say in what goes on in the movie. She could have told the truth and put more emphasis on Rachel's diaries, but instead, she twists the words and makes her daughter into a martyr all so she can profit off it and spread her overtly Christian agenda. She even went so far as to go on the 700 club, exploiting her daughter's death to get them donations. I'm sorry, but she gets no sympathy from me.

I never even heard of this movie until today and now that I seen it I wish I didn't. If you don't want to see an example of how scummy the human race can be, then don't watch this, because it's too real of an example.
