Synopsis

Sixteen-year-old Finn Earl (Anton Yelchin) is supposed to spend the summer in the Amazon, helping his anthropologist father, whom he's never met, study the Ishkanani tribe. But instead of getting a passport, he gets busted for buying coke for his addict mother, Liz (Diane Lane), and takes the rap himself. So Finn goes off on a very different kind of adventure instead: spending the summer at the massive New Jersey estate of the wealthy and powerful Ogden C. Osborne (Donald Sutherland), one of his mother's massage clients. While his mother fights to remain sober there, Finn falls in with Osborne's spoiled-rotten grandchildren, including Bryce (Chris Evans) and Maya (Kristen Stewart); the latter takes an immediate romantic interest in him. Despite the fun Finn's having--getting involved in drinking, smoking pot, and experimenting for the first time with sex--he identifies more with the maid, Jilly (Paz de la Huerta), than with the rich kids. And when he gets taken under Osborne's wing, danger lurks as family secrets start rising to the surface.
Griffin Dunne directs FIERCE PEOPLE with a firm hand, mixing in scenes from Finn's father's documentaries that evoke what is happening within the Osborne tribe itself. The ensemble cast also includes Elizabeth Perkins as Osborne's snobby daughter, Christopher Shyer as a doctor who quickly develops a thing for Liz, and Garry Chalk as the blowhard McCallum. Based on the book by Dirk Wittenborn, who also wrote the screenplay and appears in the film as Fox Blanchard, FIERCE PEOPLE is a bittersweet look at classism in the United States, set in 1980 but relevant to the separation between the rich and the poor in any era.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ex Malo Bonum - Out Of Bad, Comes Good, 13 Mar 2008
I found the motif of the 'Iskanani Tribe' as utterly impelling, and it works excellently in tandem with the actual brutality of the residents of Rich America. The story itself is moving, and it brought me to tears on several occasions, the acting is totally on point, particularly Chris Evans' character 'Bryce'. You can split the film in two, the first half is relatively introspective and slow, and the second half is dark and fast-paced with a climatic ending, and both halves work brillantly together. I highly recommend this film, it has an amazing twist, an emotive and engaging plot, and also a fresh take on western customs, exposing the savagery at the centre of our own 'tribes'.
