We Gotta Get Out of This Place

I really don't like films where the action is driven by stupid people making stupid decisions.  In this installment, a small-town Texas boy sees his girl and best friend leaving for college, and steals money from his boss to fund a last weekend together.  What he doesn't realize is that his boss is a pretty awful criminal who doesn't take too kindly to being stolen from, and the consequences and subsequent choices made by the lead trio continue to stir up trouble.  As the trouble compounds, they are all drawn into an escalating situation of violence and threat.

In the end, they're smarter than I feared, but in exactly the way I predicted for an hour, making the story sadly wrote and predictable.
