The main problem with this movie is that few scenes build character. Instead the movie builds character through third person narration, which was irritating after 10 minutes. Too much narration in this case was a sign of a poor scene adaptation.
Twelve is the name of a designer drug which seems to be a combination of a an XTC and cocaine high except it is more addicting. You know when people use it because the camera goes out of focus. It actually plays only a minor role in the film, despite the title.
"White Mike" is the main character. He doesn't do drugs, he just deals them. For some reason when his mother died from cancer he had to quit school and deal drugs, a plot point that didn't make much sense. He buys drugs in Harlem and then sells them to upper crust kids on the East Side in the part of New York City where no one has a New York accent. The movie centers more around the kids.
Parental Guide: Very brief nudity, quick sex scenes, F-bomb, violence, and of course underage alcohol and drug use. The movie might have an appeal to the teens. I would suggest others avoid it.
