She's the victim. He's the seducer. Both are killers. Brad Pitt ( Troy, Ocean's 11 ) and Juliette Lewis ( Starsky and Hutch, Natural Born Killers ) star in this shocking drama about teenagers and the death penalty. Juliette Lewis plays 15-year-old Amanda Sue Bradley, a girl who has already endured a lifetime of cruelty and neglect. Abused by her stepfather, abandoned by her mother and with one failed marriage behind her, she falls prey to a seductive hustler, Billy Canton (Brad Pitt). Billy soon introduces Amanda to the world of sex, drugs and prostitution. She then meets a man (Michael O'Keefe, Caddyshack ) who shows her the only love and compassion she's ever known. But, when he is forced to break off their friendship because of her age, Billy convinces Amanda to take a bloody revenge. High on drugs and booze, the two go on a murderous rampage. Amanda is arrested and because of the brutality of the crime, she's tried as an adult. If Amanda is found guilty of murder, she'll receive the death penalty. |
