Mean Creek
With his directorial debut, Jacob Aaron
Estes takes a compelling and insightful
look into the teen psyche in this dark
drama that he also scripted. Rory Culkin
effectively plays the susceptible victim of
verbal and physical abuse from the
school bully (Josh Peck). Soon the
protective older brother (Trevor Morgan)
finds out and enlists the Kenickie of a
Podunk Oregon town. Together, they plot
a cruel revenge that accidentally leads to
a far more malicious finale. Even though
the film is a sparse 87 minutes long, the
diverse characters are all fully developed
and excellently executed with realistic
depictions of how teenagers deal with
ridicule, personal issues and death.
