"Own It" - Anyone with a love of Noir detective story needs to se this modern take on pulp fiction and the distinct heavy dialogue.

I have a love/hate relationship with this film. It is a quite solid example of film-noir (if that is considered a genre), but it doesn't keep me entertained extremely well throughout the whole thing. It seems to be fairly full of itself with how it portrays its story and the main characters, and while it does a decent job of pulling it off, it definitely doesn't allow the viewer to care as much about the film because they act like it is above you.

Started off OK then I totally lost interest.

Ehhh.. Not as good as some people say it is and not as bad as some people says it is. After I found out what this movie was about I thought "now this is my kind of movie". I went out and bought it for $10. Personally, I think it was...

Ehhh.. Not as good as some people say it is and not as bad as some people says it is. After I found out what this movie was about I thought "now this is my kind of movie". I went out and bought it for $10. Personally, I think it was worth it.

A great storyline. I've read people's comments on here about it not being believable that this teenager is going around playing detective. But I completely bought it because for one he really loved this girl. If I loved someone and they went through all this trouble then ended up dead I would do the same thing this guy did. I don't get how people couldn't understand them when they spoke because I could. I just couldn't understand them when they talked to fast, but there are some teenagers that really do talk that way. I should know I am one.

There were a few things I didn't like about this movie, though. At the end, when Larua says that Emily didn't love Brendon it just didn't make sense to me. Cause if she didn't love him why would she go though all the trouble to talk to him and why would she keep a picture of them together in her notebook. Then, there's Brendon. I mean, if he loved Emily so much than why did he get together with Laura not that long after Emily's death.

Other then that I enjoyed the film. Most of it keeps you interested, but some parts of it you're just like "God will this never end?". You'll probably enjoy this movie more if you are around your teen years, though. But from this fellow viewer to another this movie is at least worth having a look at.
