SYNOPSIS: Acclaimed director Larry Clark delivers his most powerful film since KIDS. Marty is a tormented surfer who relies on his longtime pal Bobby 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 and her best friend Ally, 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.

EDITORIAL REVIEW:  Based on the true story of closet-homosexual Bobby Kent (played by Nick Stahl) and his best friend Marty Puccio (played by bad boy Brad Renfro) and their bizarre friendship that ended suddenly in July, 1993.  Bobby and Marty have been friends since the 3rd grade, and despite Marty's constant beatings and ridiculing at the hands of Bobby, the two remain best friends.  Their strange friendship involves everything from going to gay strip clubs together, to getting stoned, to bi-sexual orgies.  Bobby has got his dad thinking that's he's a little angel and that it is actually Marty who is the trouble maker and the source of everyone's problems.  Both Bobby and Marty have some serious anger management issues (in real life, they were apparently major steroid users - which leads to "roid-rage - but this was not talked about in the movie), but Bobby takes everything one step further - rape and humiliation is not off limits.  When it gets to the point when no one can stand Bobby's tormenting any longer, Marty and Lisa begin to plan his murder.  They enlist the help of "The Hitman" (played by Kids' Leo Fitzpatrick), a self-proclaimed gang hitman (who's not a hitman at all, but rather the leader of a "gang" of 11-year-old petty thieves).  As the group of would-be killers grows to include friends of friends, things get more complex and not as simple as they all had hoped.

Unlike Ken Park, Bully has a plot.  Perhaps because it's based on a true story.  And what would a Larry Clark movie be without sex and violence involving teens?  Bully has plenty of both.  This is the full, uncut version.
