Leigh Monson

...precisely the kind of movie that I wish I could recommend simply to spark conversation on how not to tackle issues of race in a film, but it is such a dull and lifeless experience that it can't even serve that purpose.

The most questionable 85 minutes a viewer could waste in 2017.

Little more than a glorified afterschool special, and the fact that it's strongly cast only adds to bewilderment about how it went so wrong.

... begins as a mildly compelling examination of grief and catharsis before detouring into contrived vigilante territory.

It's not terrible, and the characters are likable, but, much like its vague title, this teen crime thriller, which also has elements of comedy and romance, never finds its center or its voice.

Forgettable, wishy-washy teen crime movie.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that November Criminals is a teen crime movie with some romance and comedy. Secondary teen characters are drug dealers, and sometimes there are no consequences for their actions. Drugs are shown, and one secondary character may be stoned. The main characters have sex and kiss, but they're under the sheets, with nothing sensitive seen. Guns are fired, characters die, and a character is shown with a bloody wound. Language includes several uses of "s--t," plus "a--hole," "ass," "bitch," and more. Teens could be interested thanks to stars Ansel Elgort (Baby Driver) and Chloe Grace Moretz (Carrie, If I Stay, The 5th Wave), but the movie's tentative, unsure tone leaves it feeling fairly disposable.
