I dunno how the original script looked,but I suspect it was far from what got produced.
What we have her is a choppy movie, about bored rich kids who get into all kind of violent trouble, just cause they are bored.
The main guy is a kid who seem to be more of a background character,kind of guy. He is in a rich kid gang called DAB(you don't ever get told what the acronyms mean). But the problem is he really seem more like a mascot,than a real gang member. He si not all that edgy. nor all that provoking. More the silent nerdy type. Than you have the female lead. The always lovely Amy Locane. But she don't have much to work with here. She is hired cause she is pretty,. She is the gang leaders girlfriend. But he don't really seem to care all that much about her. Kind more like something that is nice to have around.,
After a gang fight gone bad,and a car driven into a swimming pool .They end up in some sort of juvenile mental institution,for troubled kids.
Which is were most of the film take place.
The problem is you don't really feel for these kids. When I watched Where the Day Takes You I had sympathy with them. But watching this movie you don't really feel anything,near sympathy for them.
I think the biggest problem is the movie can't decide if it gonna be a gang movie, a Troubled teen movie,or a poor rich kid with their absent parents drama. I feel the main protagonist would have been played better by someone else.
