Twelve

2010R94 minutes

High school dropout White Mike (Chace Crawford) is living large as a dealer of weed and an Ecstasy-like pill called Twelve to rich teens in New York's Upper East Side. But Mike's luck turns fast when his cousin is killed and his best friend is arrested for the crime. Based on 17-year-old Nick McDonell's acclaimed 2002 novel, this gripping drama also stars Emma Roberts, Rory Culkin, Kiefer Sutherland and 50 Cent.

I hate to shoot holes through this movie because it is a great film. For Christ's sakes, are there no editors in Hollywood? It starts with narration, "White Mike doesn't drink, never has" and then the next scene is him drinking to his mother's death one year before. "White Mike quit school when his mother died" next scene, "Mike White went right back to school when his mother died. His father told him he could stay home but he asked, What would that do" You see Movie editors, that causes the viewer to not trust the film is going to have any integrity. Other than that, it is a good film showing the problems and aftermath of illegal drug use. My question:what exactly is Twelve?

Don't forget the director who, if not standing over the editor's shoulder, certainly was keeping track as the movie was being put together.
