This movie is about a young man who becomes a drug lord in his town, supported by several of the adults in his community. After a deal gone wrong, he seeks revenge on the person who screwed him over. The opportunity falls right in his lap when he and his friends find the screw-up's younger brother walking alone while they are driving out of town. They kidnap him, and then realize what they have done is a crime. They shuffle him between different hideouts and some of them befriend him along the way.
Now, this is based on a true story, and true stories focused on drugs usually don't end well. Several great actors were involved in this film, including Emile Hirsch, Anton Yelchin, and Bruce Willis. A very surprising performance was put forth by Justin Timberlake as a punk with a heart. This was a gritty movie with a traumatic ending, and it even caught me off guard at times.
10 words or less: A strong stomach is needed for this true story.
