So I recently watched a film for one reason and one reason alone. Rupert Grint the boy everyone knows and loves for being Ron Weasley plays a sexy young drugged up teen who’s Irish. Not the best reason behind watching a film but he is a potential rising star.
In this film Grint and Robert Sheehan play two teens getting drunk and high in Belfast. Grint’s character comes from a well off loving if not demanding family, he gets good grades and works at a leisure centre. Sheehan’s character is the opposite, his father an addict, his brother a big time dealer, he deals on the side to make his money and his prospects are not good. Enter the daughter of the boss (Kimberly Nixon) who starts to cause trouble when pitting the old friends against each other until the final crescendo.
A small summary for a basic and very old plot, one that has been done time and time again. The film is short, made shorter by drawn out scenes of teen night life filmed in arty fashions to gothic indie music. It is predictable and nothing to write home about. However it does have one saving grace. The acting is superb, especially from the three teen parts that show great talent and promise. So for the reason that I watched this film I was spot on, the acting is great, the rest leaves a lot to be desired.
