A protagonist does not blackmail other people. This simple fact renders any sympathy or likability for the main character impossible. The movie itself sees this awful kid trying to achieve his goals by threatening to ruin the lives of other people. I expect nothing less from Hollywood these days, as an increasing number of films seem to have protagonists that some people would like to kick down a flight of stairs. This movie is no exception. All I can say is at least he got what was coming to him. Too bad he didn't go to jail, like he deserved, but his fate is the only satisfactory thing about this movie. Hollywood please stop whatever this nonsense is of trying to make criminals and bullies look cool. Just stop.
