Description
This dark film about dirtbag kids who learn one of their group is a murderer is better than expected, with great performances from Keanu Reeves (one of his first films), Ione Skye, Daniel Roebuck, Crispin Glover, and Dennis Hopper. A movie that zigs when you think it'll zag, it has none of the dayglo pop of other teen films from the 1980s, and feels closer to the world of the 1990s that Mary remembers.
