Marty (Brad Renfro) is a tormented surfer who relies on his longtime pal Bobby (Nick Stahl) for rides to the beach and South Florida bars despite vicious abuse. But when Bobby turns his unwanted attention to Marty's new girlfriend Lisa (Rachel Miner) and her best friend Ally (Bijou Phillips), Lisa decides Bobby's reign of terror must end. Assembling a crew of alienated suburban teens, she forms a deadly plan to get Bobby out of the way once and for all, turning friends into enemies and casual acquaintances into co-defendants in a murder that rocked America to its core. (official distributor synopsis)

After a crucial scene, the initial disgust over the cheap attempt at shocking the viewer by depicting the sex life of Los Angeles teenagers turns into respect over the believably depicted reaction of these brats to the crime they committed. Its concept is not as clear and precise as that of Kids, but also not as fumbling and empty as that of Ken Park. Bully is somewhere in between. A weaker three stars than those I gave Alpha Dog.
