It's a regular American high school. Krista is fun-loving theater student. Adam loves guns and wants to do a YouTube channel. Nito is a nice skateboarder who is befriended by some petty delinquents.
The young cast grows on me. I really like Krista and Nito as characters. There is a simple reality and sweet charm to their relationship. Adam reminds me of Gus Van Sant's Elephant (2003) and that is a mixed blessing. In a way, his life is a matter of the audience's opinion. Ultimately, this movie may have a message but it's not for everyone. The last section with Krista is a little contrived. All in all, I do love Krista and Nito. I understand the idea of Adam. I love the reality of this world and it's never not compelling.

Could Have Been Better
A teen story with two subplots; a skater w/exceptional parkour skills is used by his friends to do some petty theft crimes. He also has a love interest in a drama student. This fills, often boringly, most of the movie. In the other main character we have a socially isolated, social-media, internet-posting, gun loving teen w/some family issues. His weapons & hunting prowess leads us to the climax.
Not a good flow to our storyline & ended up ff through a lot of it.
Prime Shooter
The story has two subplots. Adam likes to shoot and posts on-line with less than satisfactory results. Krista (Shirley Chen) is in high school drama. She crushes on Nito (Jose Angeles) who skate boards. They hit it off pretty good. Nito becomes involved with a group that enjoy stealing things and they rely on Nito's athleticism. The two plots don't merge until near the end of the feature.
This is more of a teen film. It appears they were attempting at making a point, but did so rather poorly.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
