Havoc
Too much is never enough.
Directed by Barbara Kopple
Produced by Media 8 Entertainment, New Line Cinema
A cautionary thriller about privileged teens playing at gang culture who discover the real violence and danger they've been romanticizing, built on escalating tension and moral recklessness.
A wealthy Los Angeles teen and her superficial friends wants to break out of suburbia and experience Southern California's "gangsta" lifestyle. But problems arise when the preppies get in over their heads and provoke the wrath of a violent Latino gang. Suddenly, their role-playing seems a little too real.
