The movie is actually alright. But it is an EXTREME white trash movie. Everyone one is so ghetto and raunchy in the movie.

I saw this movie for the first time when I was 16 years old back in 2008 and it blew me away and it still does to this day. The whole atmosphere, Florida, the warm weather, hot girl actors, Nick Stahl, Brad Renfro(RIP). The fact that this is based on true events is crazy but it's true. This movie shows the dark side of people and you know stuff like this happens everyday around you. You shouldn't ignore the fact that this movie is true because well yeah, this is life...it didn't shock me really.But it is one of my favorite movies ever and nothing's ever gonna change that. The acting is awesome, Larry Clark is awesome, this is his best movie I think. I can't believe how someone can capture that whole stiffling hot Florida atmosphere so well as he could in this movie. Watch it and remeber: it's 4am...do you know where your kids are? 10/10 I just love it

Bully is based on the real life murder of Bobby Kent in 1993. Iconic Brad Renfro leads a cast of young upstarts in a movie that (I'm sure) does justice to the real case. If not, and the movie was changed for dramatic purposes, it was changed perfectly. Despite there being great acting by a great cast, the violence is gory and there's lots of explicit sex. So I recommend watching this alone. Not with a group, not with one boy or one girl, alone. Trust me on this.Brad Renfro plays Marty Puccio and Nick Stahl plays Bobby Kent. Marty and Bobby has been best friends since they were children, but Bobby has always mistreated Marty. Bobby has mistreated everybody in very disgusting ways that's all shown. Everybody gets fed-up with Bobby and all plan to kill him, with Mary being the most motivated.Renfro stated that Bully was his favourite movie of his. I must agree that it is his best he was in and the best he's acted in. So there's lots of sex among other things that make for an interesting viewing, but for a dark teenage crime-drama, it is a slam-dunk! As you might have guessed, Brad Renfro is the best in this and Nick Stahl is right behind him. There was something so awesome about Renfro in this that made his portrayal so sick and made me shake. That's right, Renfro did such a good job in this that he made me shake. Nobody else has ever done that to me.

This is one of those films whereby you initially force yourself to watch it just for the sake of viewing just another part of the wider reality. Even though none of the characters have any charm about them, one feels attached to them because they are only misguided teenagers. The director has done an incredible job. What I really appreciated was that how this turned out to be one of those specifically psychological drama that is gripping throughout and you feel tensed throughout as well, and at parts even consider not finding out what happens next. Perhaps because Bobby portrayed the most hateable character whose murder you actually affirm (highly justifiable morally), and the thought of Marty and Lisa getting caught is something you hope against. The ending is very climatic with the perfect soundtrack. I love how the director captures teenage paranoia so well, something I have observed in only a few films. The acting is incredible, especially of Dornie! Also, for me, this film strengthened my stand against capitol punishment. Marty's subjection to the electric chair was the last thing you would hope for.
