could have been better, great attributes. If you are an american high school student then this is a great film.

Disturbing film about youth and crime with great performances from Glover, Reeves and Hopper.

I have rarely seen a film where 95% of the characters are completely obnoxious, and you just hope they get killed as soon as possible ... is this what the film is about? The apathy we all display in spades towards our society, friends, fellow humans? If so, the casting was perfect. When you start to root for a blow up doll to be the only character that survives, you know you are watching a complete turkey. That's not to say there were not some good points and performances, but I just didnt care

An interesting look at believable characters; ultimately not especially memorable, though

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being crazy, and 10 being crazy, Crispin Glover scores an A+.

While I do enjoy being depressed, I don't always enjoy being made to be depressed.

I wonder if Keanu Reeves, who wasn't bad in this one, learned his shitty acting from Crispin Glover...

Surprisingly this didn't suck quite as bad as I expected.

Crazy Dennis Hopper + Crazier Crispin Glover = A strange but surprisingly accurate portrait of high school.

Harrowing and gripping. Aging biker Hopper is splendid.

What can you say about Crispin Glover in this?--except that you probably shouldn't act an entire film on crystal meth. At least he makes Keanu seem subdued by comparison (and actually almost good). Dennis Hopper is his usual fun self (in a lethal way of course).

Sharp delineation of the moral bankruptcy of adolescence. I knew people like this when I was a teenager

I don't like it as much as I used to, but there are moments, most of which involve Crispin Glover being his usual insane self. Also, this is the role Keanu Reeves was born to play: a not very bright but ultimately likeable stoner. The little brother is easily the most obnoxious, beating-worthy child I've ever seen. I don't mean the actor is annoying, I mean the character is such a rotten little delinquent that you really want to see him get killed.

A very accurate portrayal of teens in that decade. Great acting, good real-life story, and it's all put together nicely. I love this film.

I never thought I'd ever see anyone out-surferdude Keanu Reeves, but Crispin Glover somehow manages it. Apart from that, a decent movie about teenage apathy that will probably grow more and more relevant with each passing generation.
