30 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Act 1 - 6.0

Act 2 - 5.6

Act 3 - 5.5

Film takes itself way too seriously for the subject matter and the age of the kids

Film never rises above mediocrity

Performances are bad to bland all around

Some decent moments scattered throughout

Passable film but wouldn't recommend



Opens with 3 young men robbing a rich home on the water and one of the kids breaks his ankle during an escape and leaves his shoe behind

Locals in this beach town

The kids hang out on the boardwalk with some girls, Alan and Mary hit it off

Local rich man dies and rope Alan's younger brother to help rob it

Cop shows us to Smitty's house with his lost boot

Red finds a gun and Peter and Alan find gold coins

The cop shows up and catches Alan, Red escapes on the boat and leaves Peter behind all alone with the coins

Cops tries to get through to Alan and says he can turn his life around and warns us about Red being dangerous and violent, asks for his help to put away Red for a stabbing

Peter uses the cigars to bargain a trip across back to the mainland

Peter calls out Red for leaving him behind and doesn't come in with the bag

Peter and Alan take one of the coins to the pawn shop and get 1000$ for it

Father doesn't get back til after the 4th of July so they have been on their own for a bit

The brothers go back to the island and dig up the bag of coins, comes out to 100,000$, Peter thinks they should sit on the coins until the summer is over and re-bury them

Two kids just talking about what they want to do with all of their money, everybody has had this kind of conversation

Alan buys a car and talks to Smitty about their situation, try to make this situation more important in the grand scheme of things than it actually is

Alan goes out with Mary, Peter sees Alan bought a car and is pissed that people will know they have money now

Alan feels regulated to being stuck in this town and thinks Peter can go to college and do great things

Keep seeing Red practicing with his gun, a good shot

Smitty and the bum snitch on Alan to Red putting him and Mary in danger

Smitty goes into Alan's house and finds his map with a coin, Peter is there and Red is on his way

Smitty and Red are really bad actors and annoying characters

Alan shows up before Red and wants to make a deal to get half the coins

Cop tries to get Red to turn himself in and flashes the boot to Red, who now knows that Smitty has snitched as well

Red shows up and Alan tells him he's out but Red says they are all doing one last house

They are just kids and are making everything so serious and life or death, very overly dramatic for their circumstances

Red calls 911 on the house and dips, it's Mary's house and the boys get caught

Mary sees Alan in the cop car, Red gets back to the docks and finds out about the cigars

Smitty has the map on his cast and says will take the cop there to show him the coins, coins not in the spot, Red sees them leaving

Pawn shop owner bails out Peter and see him at the anchor where he moves the coins

Mary gets her parents to drop the charges against them, and have a cheesy scene together

Peter is digging up the coins and Alan shows up to help

Red shoes up behind them with the gun, he's so lame and unbelievable as this psycho

Alan charges Red with the paddle and shoots Peter in the head and then tries to drown Alan

Peter was just grazed and now has the gun and shoots and kills Red and saves Alan

Peter and Alan dump the body as fireworks for the 4th go off and looks like these two brothers are going on the run with their coins
