Sins of Our Youth is a 2014 thriller/drama film directed by Gary Entin and starring Lucas Till, Joel Courtney, and Mitchel Musso. The film is a cautionary tale that highlights a new generation in the United States that is desensitized by an oversaturation of violence in the mainstream media and who have ready access to firearms.
Plot
Four teenagers, Scott, David, Carlo, and Tyler, accidentally kill a younger boy while shooting off assault weapons recreationally, and make perilous decisions in the aftermath of the murder.
In a moment of desperation, paranoia, and fear that their lives are over, the four teenagers struggle to find a way out. They drunkenly construct a plan reminiscent of a video-game plot. Later, Scott shoots and kills Tyler at a school dance, but is shot and bleeds to death. Police surround the remaining two and Carlo commits suicide. The police think David is reaching for a gun and kill him, only for it to be revealed David was reaching for an inhaler.
Reception
The Los Angeles Times criticized the movie saying, "...the idea behind “Sins of Our Youth” appears to have originated in a night of substance abuse." They went on to say, the plot of the movie which was teen drinking and guns leads to death was not surprising.[2]
