Twelve (2009 or 2010 R)

   The movie stars Chase Crawford (Loaded), Emma Roberts (Hotels for Dogs), Rory Culkin (Signs, You Can Count on Me), Anthony Quarles, 50 Cent (Set Up), Jeremy Allen White (Afterschool), Kiefer Sutherland (Flatliners, A Time to Kill) and Zoe Kravitz (XMen:First Class, The Brave One).
   The plot of the movie revolves around a drug dealer and the high society kids he deals to.  (Note to Netflix fire who ever wrote the snyposis of the movie with out watching the movie first.)  It is really an ensamble cast.  It also follows several teens and there lives.
   This is a movie that deserves its R rating.  May not be suitable for younger kids.  That being said everyone else should should go out and see this movie.  The voice over/ narriator (Sutherland) was great and started off the movie very well.  There was only one line that was stupid or not well written.  The character was talking aout her future and wanting to marry Johnny Deep. I thought the referance to Deep was childlike in a very adult line. 
  All the characters were well written and acted.  I dont think there was one character that I would of cut from the film.  The visual tone of the movie was well done.  It was on the darker side but totally fit in with the plot.
   While I was watching the movie I was trying to figure out what was good about the movie.  I could not pin point too many specifics.  The whole movie was good.
   I rate the movie as a B or B+.  For people of the appriote age everybody should see this movie.
