Wow! Really Bad Kids!
This review is from;KidsIf kids like this are our future, then we are all doomed! Maybe we will live in a futuristic, badlands world like in "Road Warrior". Forget global warming, maybe our youthful generation will end mankind. "Kids" follows the stories of Jenny & Tellie. Tellie is a teenage boy who craves sex with virgins. He craves it so much that he goes on his own personal quest to get as much virgin girls as he can. Jenny is one of Tellie's former flings and she has contracted the HIV virus from Tellie. Throughout the film we witness a gang beating (about ten guys against one), drug use, shoplifting from a store, stealing from a parent, a rape between two teenagers involving Jenny and a wild, alcohol party with kids as young as 10 drinking! The film ends as Jenny pursues Tellie to tell him about the HIV virus and possibly stop him from affecting more unsuspecting victims.This is quite a shocking film induced to shock. It has a redeeming realism to it because chances are you may have passed by "kids" like this on a daily basis. We can see kids like this in a mall, bus station, school or just by walking by. Maybe you just wish some of these kids will go away and grow up, but some cannot. Let this movie be a wake up call to parents. This movie can be a parent's worst nightmare. I think this is the type of movie parents & teenagers should watch together.There is one scene that surprised me in the movie. In the subway, Tellie and his friend, Casper are talking boastfully about sex and profanity. A man with no legs enters the subway car and sings repeatedly "I have no legs". As he passes the two boys, they slump and stare quietly. Tellie's friend reaches for some change to give to the handicapped man. A single moment of humanity among many troubled and disrespected moments with these very troubled teens. Maybe all hope is not lost?
