Movie Review:

Would you watch this train wreck?

The movie starts out kind of mundane. A young, preteen girl gets into a fight with her family, and decides to run away from home. *Yawn* We've all seen this one before- we've LIVED this one before. Who hasn't wanted to run away from home?

She starts on her way and runs into, what I would describe as a creepy old man. He ends up scaring her and she starts to run away from him and back towards her house. She realizes that she has made a mistake- creepy men are everywhere.

Chaos ensues.

The movie starts to get a whole lot more colorful from here. I am invested. I pull up a chair.

Home girl "accidently" kills someone- in front of a whole lot of people. Witnesses all over town. She needs to get the hell of Dodge. Some of locals point her in the right direction-

-and off she went.

A young, preteen girl, on her own, having just killed someone. What could go wrong from here?

I'll tell you what- a fucking lot.

Making her first kill, she is suddenly no longer intimidated by the creepy old men. She ends up traveling with 3 of them, who are claiming they want to "help her" but seem to have motives of their own. They don't necessarily seem like they want her to leave their company. Awkward.

Nevertheless, they travel together, and they continue to guide her towards what is supposed to be the safe location to hide out and/or find someone who is shady enough to help the little preteen killer, by the way, who is also the thief. She is stealing shit all throughout the film.

Mafia style shit, if you ask me. Nobody is giving the actual name of this person they're looking for; they're just telling her where they can be found. Kind of up in the air as to whether or not they will actually help her, but the locals seem confident.

Who did she kill? Was this mofo from a rival gang? Stay tuned.

They were almost to the mafia boss, when they got gassed out. Passed out up in the bushes, until someone came along and helped them out. They got lucky this time.

Mafia boss' minions didn't want to let them around, but once the boss heard it was the bad bitch that took out his rival, he was like, "I'll allow it." #MadRespect

They all get in, get to talking- Godfather style- and she starts laying out what she wants. But then the friends are all up in there like, "Yeah, and I want...." Nahhhh. You didn't kill anyone, bro. Now you all gotta do another favor. #MafiaShit

He tells them about another rival leader, and is like, "But you need to bring back some proof." He wasn't just going to take their word for it. This is 4 whole individuals coming to him, on the day of his daughter's wedding.... Wait, no. That's actually The Godfather. But they were all there asking for a favor. He wanted to make sure the job was done and done right. Probably also wanted to ensure that the evidence was in the right hands.

They were like, "Yooooo..... you want us to have more blood on our hands?" Meh. *shrugs* Alright. Challenge accepted.

Someone from the crew of the first person who was killed showed up. Not just someone, but a group of someones. They snatched preteen girl up from her group, before she even had the chance to make an offer or deal of ANY kind. They brought her to their gang leader, and she was hella pissed. Turns out- she was connected to the first one baby girl off-ed- and who she also stole from.

And I mean PISSED. She had all kinds of questions: Who sent you? Why you getting yourself involved? Type questions. She also kinda knew that homegirl was being sent to take her out next. She wasn't having it.

She gave her an hour to think it over- see if she wanted to talk. If not? Bang, bang, bitches. She was going to take the little preteen out herself.

Babygirl was not talking.

She was for sure hoping that her crew was going to show up, tho.

And they did.

They didn't come packing the heat, tho. It was about to be the boss bitch's whole damn crew against a couple of these bros.

They snuck in real quiet. tip-toe-tip-toe. Real smart about it, too, because they came in wearing her crew's colors, walked right through with a group- undetected. Gangsta af.

They use a guide to figure out where their homegirl is posted up and break the whole damn door down. They are ready to scoot scoot on up out, when the Boss Bitch comes out like, "Come the fuck on. You really think you were about to just walk right this door like that?" She comes at them with her heat, but they turn it against her. Boom! Once she is out- her whole crew was like, "Lowkey- not even mad, y'all."

They grab what they need as evidence and roll out to mafia boss.

And he's just like, "Damn, y'all give up already?"

They're like, "Nah....we got yo shit." *pop the collar* What is UP!?!?

The mafia boss is just sitting there like, "Wait.... for real?"

They are all, "Yeah, no big deal. We turned her heat and her crew on her."

And he's like, "Dope. But I'm not going to help you."

Say what?!?!

This bad lil' preteen bitch just took out your two biggest rivals, you have no back up in the room, and you are actually going to have to nerve- the AUDACITY- to say that right to her face?

Hell. No.

Her 3 bros ain't having it. Like, we will literally kill you RIGHT where you stand, if you're going to come back with no honor whatsoever.

Mafia boss is basically like, "LOL, jk. Step into my office."

Now, if you ask me, I feel like he kinda half-assed taking care of the 3 bros. Granted, they were 3 older dudes, traveling with an under-aged preteen girl. So I wasn't that mad. I was mad, however, when he tried to stiff babygirl. She was the one who actually took out both of his rivals, and he was going to try to fuck her over. Nahhhhh. The 3 bros pressed, and he was like, "Okay, fine, meet up there by my ride, and I'll take you to the spot myself."

We all know by now that this dude is a shady mother fucker, who is completely unreliable. The 3 bros really turn up creepy old man status when they are all, "No, don't go, underage girl.....stay with us." It got real cringe, because she got all close and said right into one of their ears, "I'll miss you most of all."

Bros....she is like 12. Chill.

True to shady and unreliable form, Bossman jets out without the girl- and the three creepy older guys are all, "Yeah...it's cool. We didn't want you to go, anyway." *wink wink* *nudge nudge*

And she's like, "Okay, but I kinda miss my family..."

-And prob needing a little therapy from the PTSD she's about to have from all this killing, kidnapping, and old man creepiness.

This chick from the original place, where she killed the first person came back around, and was basically like, "You could have gone back home anytime you wanted, yo."

Really? You just sat there and allowed the additional murder happen? You allowed this 12-year-old girl to be escorted all over by 3 older men.... ***SPOILER ALERT*** Because she knew this was all going on. Her ass was the one who saved them when they were gassed up. That's right. I said it.

And everyone says she's the "Good" one?

I don't think so.

However, tap tap tap- she gets babygirl back home, and the family is all like, "Ummm.... you never left, but okay?"

And she looks around the room and is like, "But all you creepy bros were there, and OH SHIT- that's the mafia boss right there at the broken window."

They're like, "Girl, get some sleep. You trippin'."

But she still wants to get all emotional on their asses and let them know:

There's No Place Like Home.

Wizard of Oz: 1939

5/5 would recommend.

Good for the whole family.
