If Stevie didn't seem like such a real and basically ordinary teen, the film wouldn't be so compelling.

The crisp images and Bill Foster’s unnerving ambient sound of hovering copters enormously aid this low-budget powder keg.

Pups looks ragged and slammed-together, but that's part of its appeal; the film has a wildness that more care would have killed.
