TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

SillyGayBoy I have watched many jail shows and documentaries and I am walking away from this thinking this might actually be the best.It shows various viewpoints of people who when they were young committed a murder. Some seem to feel a lot of guilt, some don't seem to. It shows the way they think about it, what they tried to do, how they tried to get away with it.It raises questions about whether or not young people really understand consequences to their actions and if life without parole is actually right for them.It also might just make people upset and mad. It depends what you take away from this. But to me it is an interesting psychological study.

pallurameg The documentary was pretty standard. If you have common sense and watch the killers in each story, it's fairly obvious who was the "brains" or psychopath, and who actually has remorse. I know remorse doesn't matter to all, but it does to me. I'll let you draw your own conclusions, but it's there, and it's blatant. In one story (if you bother to look) one of the killers committed suicide in prison, while the other (the one who actually caused the deaths and is in the documentary) blatantly said he felt no remorse. Honestly, t can't feel much sympathy for many people who decide to take another life, regardless of age. There are a couple in this film, though, that I believe deserve a second chance...they also happen to be the ones not pandering for it.

xbestofmex You cannot go into this film with a hard opinion. The first story that is presented makes you laugh because you are so so glad these sickos are in prison until they die. But as the film progresses you start to see all of the different backgrounds, all of the different crimes committed by these teenagers and you start to think. One inmate said it best. The trauma he endured via his parents must have been due to their own horrible childhoods and he gained an understanding of them that he didn't have at 15. That doesn't mean he's innocent and deserves a second chance. But our US justice system is based on REHABILITATION and i personally feel that we deserve to try and fix these broken children. To say that they should never be free again without even trying to make progress/closure with both the victims family and the killers family is sad. Maybe we can make a difference instead of throwing away the key. But then you hear another inmate clearly deny any involvement or guilt with his parents basically speaking for him make you feel that there is no hope for this guy. But this is what the film is about. Showing the differences between these criminals. One size does not fit all and that is the difficult part about how we structure our courts and jails. Excellent job this is a documentary I will absolutely visit again.

almedina29 The first story was disturbing. Those two young men killed a girl they went to school with and were friends with! At least one of them has admitted what he did and is dealing with it. The other is very obviously lying and guilty and he is still trying to say he didn't do it? The girl was stabbed over 90 times! These boys need to stay behind bars...no one should be trying to help them get out. They still get to talk to their family and loved ones...the girl they murdered is gone forever. ....the cases where the children were brutally abused are the only ones that deserve any kind of consideration. I have known people who lived through the same kind of abuse and they pretty much always have thoughts of killing their abusers to end the constant pain. They reached out for help and no one helped them, so they did what they thought they had to do to end the horrible abuse. The parents in the second story were, by no means, innocent victims.
