     Hey, you totally know taste isn't about being "wrong"! But look,   
     a movie like this is basically just another Hollywood product,   
     and nobody's obligated to watch every single entertainment flick   
     out there. I probably caught this when I was a kid, or at least   
     a teenager. After checking out a mind-blowing masterpiece like   
     "2001", I just had to see everything this director put out.   
     The violence by the kids isn't just thrown in for shock value -   
     it actually highlights the institutional violence and the main   
     character's transformation later on. Still, it's violence as   
     entertainment - something you definitely don't need to watch   
     if that's not your scene!
