The best way for me to describe this film would be a high school neo-noir mystery. The story is interesting enough and the acting is decent. However, the dialog seems strange. It's as if the characters all talk like they're straight out of a 1940's gangster movie. But they're not; they're a bunch of high school students.
It sort of ruined the experience for me. It takes you out of the moments and ruins the realism. There are some movies that make it work, using strange stylized dialog without interfering with the realism, but it did not work for me here. Also, the story drags a bit at points and I wanted to turn it off. For those reasons I did not like this movie a lot, but it's not quite terrible. Do not recommend.
