Has anyone read Bully by Jim Schutze about the murder of Bobby Kent or seen the movie? I read the book last week and it was one of the most violent, disturbing, and depressing books I’ve ever read although apparently it is inaccurate in several aspects according to reviewers (plus the book has conversations between the people involved which would have been almost impossible to reconstruct).
I watched the movie a while ago, Nick Stahl did a great job. I don’t really know anything about the case so i can’t comment on its accuracy but it did a great job in depicting life as a teenager in central FL. Disturbing and depressing about covers it.
I saw the American Justice episode. The disconnect of the participants was mind boggling.
The movie is most definitely not your average popcorn fair, but I liked it a lot. Rachel Miner and Bijou Philips both gave great performances (and copious amounts of frontal nudity!) I read that the character Miner played wasn’t the stone cold fox she was, she was rather plain and dumpy.
On a related note, it seems that actor Nick Stahl is messed up on drugs, has disappeared, and feared to have maybe committed suicide…
