It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Butterfly-8335 must have Stockholm syndrome,because I bet If they were murdered or if their child was raped, they would you say "I deserved it" or "it's God's will".
no way movies should give real life merciless murderers movies. It won't condone their actions. That's saying " you're a horrible person, but you'll have your own movie about you". It's okay for fictional people to do evil things,because they are not real. using the actual murderer and victim is a slap in the face to real people who suffered. A couple lost their child, yet they make a movie with the merciless killers as the stars. They even had the actual murder take place in the movie, that's a big middle finger to the victim. There are different ways they could bring awareness to this case,donating to the family, talk to teens and kids, talk to the public.making a movie that is going in theaters, about the killers it not the right way.
As for the movie flow, it was boring. Plus who's the star? How am I suppose to follow someone who live their daily life, but brutally murdered a child for no reason? I was like "Fuck it, just kill them and end it already". the scene were the boy blamed his mother for his behavior is the trope of terrible parents leading to serial killer children. It's getting old. it's the number one excuse teenagers use to get softer punishment in real life. Like before, don't glorify it.

Although the movie doesn't state it, the film is loosely based off of a real murder done in England, in Feb 1993. In the true event, 2 10-year- old boys (Robert Thompson and Jon Venables) lured a 2-year-old, James Bulger, from a mall and after walking 2½ miles with him, tortured, killed him and left him on the train tracks. As in this movie, the killers were released after 8 years, were given new identities and moved to separate, secret locations. That's where the similarities end. In true life, Jon Venables had been arrested and/or returned to prison a few other times since his release.The crime in this film takes place in America and although it uses many of the main facts of the Bulger murder (the film version of the murder isn't actually as violent as the actual crime), it is truly a fictional story of what the 18-year-old men did after being released from jail. The film itself feels low budget. It is slow, aged looking and with poor acting. It is shot partially as a documentary style, going back and forth between how the young men are adjusting to their new lives, and the press re-interviewing everyone from the murder trial, as well as trying to find out the new identities/location of the released young men.The characters have no depth and it's hard to even care about the emotional victims of this murder. Everything in the film seems detached, lacking feeling and empathy. This movie has no redeeming qualities and was basically just sad, in My Humble Opinion. 3/2015 NOTE TO PARENTS: This movie must have originally been made for theater or cable, because although they were "bleeped", there was cursing (F- words, etc) and there was a semi-nude scene, where one of the men was standing alone and naked by a pool and they blurred out his back side.

The girls above are being children the movie is excellent I loved it and I do know of the actual case and I honestly want to meet these men not because I'm proud of what they done but because I know what it's like to be so troubled you want to hurt someone and take it on anything just no longer yourself they were children themselves not evil senseless creatures they need/needed help I hope they find peace some day. Now I do have remorse for the Bulger/Fergus family in their loss but hey everyone makes mistakes and as sick as it sounds I believe every tragedy that happens (murder terrorist rape etc) is gods plan for that person/family because God gives you nothing you can't handle.

The movie is bad, a low budget film, B style. I watched thinking it was some kind of documentary hopping for a psychological hypothesis about this two boys. Soon I realized it was about a fictional story of these killers once they are out of prison when they turned 18. It's not really that bad, it's watchable in my opinion, if you can get over about the real story of what happened when they were 10. The plot is as good as any mediocre movie (several holes in it), there are million as bad as this one rated over 7 or so. The acting is OK, some bad performances (reporters) are compensated for good ones like Carl who really has a creepy vibe, or his mom. You can't see any gore besides couple gun shoots and all the psychology behind behaviors is not that solid or believable mostly I assumed due to bad acting. The movie definitely is not awesome but I'm sure it's nothing to condemn, you have watched hundred worst than this one.
