there be two way you can look at this film . the first be simply a a drama film like any other and a well set piece for the epoch it unfold in while certainly the clothing and set accessory be all in their right place for the 70 /80 . the acting be quite impressive all around represent jesse eisenberg and jason ritter be the star of the show and command very well build character while one a more introspective and unspoken kid and the other a more domineering and swagger carry bad as . chris marquette and sebastian stan be also worthy of note and a be eva amurri a the typical thrill seek bore rich girl the type that tend to want what she can not have and in this case a guy who be perhaps not to be trifle with and possibly of the kind she be ill equip to deal with and or at least to deal with a she do again the typical heart break machinery at work . the other way you can look at this film be a a fred durst production . consider he be the director and youre ready to give it more credit than it would be worth straight out of the bat . it be quite impressive on his part that he be able to put this together ( if such be the case ) and even if mark of a certain lack of experience be visible throughout . first we have the screenplay some of what the character be say be repetitive and at time nonsensical . the dialogue could have be more elaborate that would certainly have up the quality and believability quotient not that the film stray too far from reality in fact it tend to steer back on track and find it way safely to the end and yet scene such a the one when jason ritter be in the bar by himself with only a few worker around him and the thing the barman spout there . these exhibition of class demarcation and the like be ultimately unreal . there be also an ongoing attack at rich people in general and when the case be consider be that of the spoiled offspring of some rich people not all rich people be worthy of scorn . second there be the unnecessary use of swear word . at a certain point in the film these just become tire . not that film should forcefully not contain these and the simple fact be a film read differently than and say and a rap album with explicit content . however you look at it and notwithstanding and the film still pull through successfully . consider the kind of garbage be throw our way these day and the education of charlie bank stand . the title be fit while indeed and even if we may think otherwise and charlie be the one who end up learn from thing . he in a way correct his way and make the right choice . he show humanity and he try to be cooperative a oppose to be oppressive . here the film triumph and in that it reveal a positive message . kudos to otherwise career dead durst for carry this one through while let hope he learn from his mistake and rise to make good thing . one can not help but think this could have be so immensely well with a different director and yet it be still surprising that it be carry under his wing . 6 . 5 ( 7 ) /10 .
