man, I almost passed this movie up, but after watching it I'm so glad I
didn't. I always saw ads for it, but I just thought 'great! another
stupid gangster movie with justin timberlake as a badass. I'll remember
to never see this'. But then I saw many of my favorite actors in it and
I decided to give it a shot.

This movie just blows my mind. I mean, its just so real (not just
because its based on actual events), but because for one the
performances were just so strong. Some may say that it was a little
over top on them trying to be badasses. But I know people that are
exactly like that so I bought that completely.

I watched the trailer and read up on the movie but never the actual
events. I even heard somewhere that the kid does die, but watching the
movie I just didn't buy it. I mean, I figured it'd be a grade A typical
movie where regardless of how the real story ended this was going to be
happy. The kid had it good, he loved it there. Even some of the
kidnappers loved it there.

This story is a sad story for everyone involved, though. These kids
were just looking for a way out and they chose the worst way possible.
I mean, how could they possibly think it was a good idea to help them
get out of trouble by killing the kid? One of the reasons they couldn't
just let him go in the first place is because his brother knew and
would go looking for him and they worried the boy would tell. But
killing was the worst idea for one killing is just horrible and for two
all of these people have already seen them with him and they told them
that he was kidnapped. How could this movie just not blow your mind
because of that.

I actually had tears in my eyes when they killed the kid. It was so
unexpected. This is definitely a movie you should check out. The
performances were so great that if I didn't know any better I would
have thought I was actually watching a real life kidnapping and murder.
The only thing horrible about this film is that this is based on true
events.

Some say that this movie started out slow. And naturally for a movie that gives you so much insight into characters where most of them are going to die by the end of the movie I normally find it kind of boring and pointless, too. But not this one, in this movie the characters were pretty entertaining and I found the events leading up to the massacre to be quite entertaining also.

There's the out of control sexual predator brother, his murderous "only when need be" older brother, a preacher that lost his faith, and two his teenagers. The only thing that really got on my nerves, though was how they tried to make the preacher man seem like he was a good guy bad ass when really all I thought it was was annoying. And then there was the plot hole of how this strip club managed to operate killing all truck drivers without none of them kicking their asses like they did in this movie and also why considering the fact that they were hauling semis why no one would go and look for them.

Other than those two things I found this movie to be great! And would recommend it to anyone!

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.

Such a great film! I have a hard time finding good dramas to watch because I'm more of a horror kind of girl, but this one is hard not to love.

The whole movie keeps you interested. With an orginal plot about a guns dealer running into problems on and off the job. The writing was great and the acting was great.

It does things that most other movies don't do. It has man with a serious and life-threatening job and it shows the impact that this job has on him, his family, and the entire world.

One of the best movies you will ever see. This is definitely one you shouldn't miss out on.

This is definitely right up there with one of the worst horror films I have ever seen. It was just so predictable. I knew everything that was going to happen in this movie before it did. And I didn't even see the original! What first drew me to this movie was that it was supposed to be some what based on an urban legend I use to love. Well, this movie just completely ruined the legend for me. They should have made the ending into one of the other versions of the legend where like the babysitter dies and tries to climb up the stairs with no legs. Now, THAT movie I would have loved.

This movie just seemed to go on and on forever, it was so boring! My advice is if your browsing through movies and come across this one, just move along.

Even though, whenever you intend to watch a movie starring a WWE wrestler you should never expect the best, but I at least expected something better than this pile of crap. I don't even have to say how horrible the acting was.

Even though, whenever you intend to watch a movie starring a WWE wrestler you should never expect the best, but I at least expected something better than this pile of crap. I don't even have to say how horrible the acting was.

I could come up with a better plot idea than this and I'm a 15-year-old girl. But I didn't even expect a decent plot but I hoped for at least some good gore but even that was dull.

The ending was boring and predictable. I was hoping that what with the movie not being A listed that there wouldn't be a "happily-ever after" ending but there was.

My point is that if you don't have to waste your time watching this than don't do it.

If it was possible to give this pathetic excuse of a movie absolutely no stars I would have. This movie definitely ranks up there with one of the absolute worst movies I have ever seen.

If it was possible to give this pathetic excuse of a movie absolutely no stars I would have. This movie definitely ranks up there with one of the absolute worst movies I have ever seen.

For one, it was extremely boring. For like 5 minutes every 20 minutes it'd seem like it was going to get interesting but nope it just went nowhere.

The acting was horrible. I, myself, seem like a golden globe winner compared to the acting in this movie.

Oh, and don't even get me started on the plot. The whole makes-no-sense plot was all suppose to lead to a "surprisingly good ending", but nope definitely did not. Once the ending was revealed I thought that they were at least going to explain why this girl dreamed the whole movie up, but nope. They didn't explain how her sister died.

To sum it all up, if you have a choice between this movie and any other movie on the face of planet, get the other movie. I wasted 3 bucks to rent this movie cause with the title "Ring Around the Rosie" I thought it was going to be about a bunch of creepy kids (which absolutely scares the hell out of me). The title didn't enough have anything to do with the movie. This movie was just the very definition of crap!

I actually quite enjoyed this film. I don't see why so many people hated it. It didn't terrify me or anything, but I thought the concept was pretty good. The way it was filmed, special effects, actors, writing, and special effects I also enjoyed.

Many people say that this film copied off of other movies such as Fear Dot Com and others. I did indeed see some similarities. But what with the millions and millions of films out there now of course your gonna come across movies that are similar. And in my own personal opinion I think this movie was better than the ones people say it "copied off of".

I'll admit that at first I didn't quite get how in the begin everything was so slow moving and only a few people died, but at the end half the world was gone. I thought things moved WAY too fast for me. But then I thought about what it would be like if this really did happen and I believed it.

So, I think that if you haven't seen this movie you should at least give it a shot and ignore all the negative comments.

Wow! This movie was absolutely horrible! I could barely stand to sit through the whole film. Me and my friend went to see it when it came out in theaters and boy were we disappointed. The whole time we were just laughing and saying...

Wow! This movie was absolutely horrible! I could barely stand to sit through the whole film. Me and my friend went to see it when it came out in theaters and boy were we disappointed. The whole time we were just laughing and saying "what?".

For one, this movie didn't really make much sense. I think the whole idea of that was that the first time you watch it you'd just think "man, that was so stupid it made no sense" so that you'd go and watch it again and again just hoping for it to finally make sense. I think I may have started to understand what was going on, but I hope not cause then that would make the movie more retarded.

This movie went in the same direction that many other movies before it had only they made sense and all came together at the end.

My point is, is that if you haven't seen this movie and are thinking about it just forget or you'll end up like me and every person in the movie theater asking for their money back.

I was browsing through movies looking for a good drama when I came across this movie. It seemed like the exact kind of movie I would LOVE. Boy, was I disappointed.

The movie was slow moving. Pointless scenes going on and on forever. I kept wanting to just turn it off but I had hope that it would get better. It didn't.

The girl playing Danny was absolutely horrible. For one I didn't like the character and her acting just stunk!

But I did enjoy the plot and the other actors were great. Just not my kind of movie.

If you enjoy slow-paced bored to the bone movies than this is for you.
