You have a bunch of kids, barely out of their teens, hanging together, having sex like bunny rabbits, popping children like crazy and getting drunk and stoned on a daily basis. Typical white trash. And one of them is a psychopath in the making who likes to torture both physically and psychically the people around him. That's why it is called Bully, see? So what's the solution? A huge and ridiculous public conspiracy to kill him. This is based on a book that is based on a true story.
Well, the people in the movie played great. The movie is an independent film, with low budget, so all you have going for you is the story. And the story is disturbing, to see all these incredibly stupid people, wasting their life one way or another, acting all cool and emotionally numb. But it is really slow and after a while even the disgust and civilized outrage wear off and you get just as numb as they are: fracking kill him already! And they do, and then the movie ends.
Bottom line: if you want to feel the moral and mental degradation of youth in poor industrial regions, do watch this. It is educational. But beside the instructional value of the film, there isn't much else there. Just a long wait for the movie to end and add it to your film belt.
