didn't watch it through

Really strange film. Moretz is a competent performer but the characters' actions and reactions are so bizarre that it's very difficult to care about any of them. People seem to do random and extreme things, with little discernible reason. For all Moretz's acting ability, the 13-year-old that has been written into the script is not remotely believable. Occasionally some nice bits of dialog but overall I think this film is pretty poor.

Hollywood's unsettling use of Chloe Moretz--here playing a 13-year-old who runs away from home and meets a cowboy (Eddie Remayne) with an unhealthy interest in her--continues, but that isn't the film's biggest issue. That would be its total pointlessness and aimlessness; whatever director Derick Martini or writer Andrea Portes were trying to say is unclear, and the result, though sincere, is rather pitiable. A good performance by Moretz and a welcome cameo by Alec Baldwin can only do so much.

My God, these people should be banned... I don't think I've ever seen such talentless filmmaking. Most of the dialogue stinks, and Martini clearly has no clue about how to put a scene together. It's unsurprising that the actors appear to have no chemistry - they're feeding off scraps which I can only assume looked better on paper. Let's not even mention the creepy and stultifying "how-many-ways-can-I-get-raped" teen road movie plot. What a car crash of appalling taste and minimal ability.

Astonishingly awful and incompetent.

The whole movie was crazy.

Luli's parents are rip-roaring drunks, she threatens investment bankers wearing rainbow panties and wielding a .45, and there's this creepy vibe that rolls like wind through the grass. All that is inside the first 15 minutes. The conversations are sooo creepy in the early part of the movie, but they lend the movie a certain... uncomfortable nature which is kind of engaging. And then, there's the implied rape scene. Yeah. It's a pretty bad movie, but it's intriguing. The ending sucks, though.

Well-acted, colorful, watchable, sometimes ominous, but mainly just kinda...there. Moretz is solid, and Baldwin's turn near the end is a standout, but mainly this is just kinda...there. I liked it while it was happening, and there were a couple memorable moments, but mainly it was just kinda...
