Sheen and Caulfield are Bo and Roy, respectively, two California high school grads who vent their frustrations by going on a killing spree. In a hard-hitting, semidocumentary-like style, the film examines the damaged psyches of these two killers as they wend their way throughout Los Angeles randomly choosing and then murdering their victims. The murder scenes are especially brutal, but don't border on the gratuitous as they serve to illustrate the duo's twisted minds. There's a subplot of gay bashing (one of the film's most disturbing sequences) which brings to light Roy's closeted homosexual feelings. Gay sexual repression resulting in a spree of rage and death is the disturbing theme to this teen drama. Two male high schoolers and best friends go on a rampage of violence, killing a gay man (that they pick up in a gay bar) and then killing with abandon. Could the unresolved sexual attraction and tension between the two be the cause of their psychotic behavior?
