DELINQUENTS
If "Garden State" and "Punch Drunk, Love" could be mixed with Shane Black and Elmore Leonard but for teenagers, that is the tone of Delinquents. It is a teen dark romantic comedy about Duke who has a juvey record and is from the wrong side of the tracks and Becca a rich, mentally depressed girl who has been in and out of mental institutions and whose father is running for office. Duke learns the art of mugging from his cousin Thomas who is under a ticking clock to pay back a deadly loan shark. Duke and Becca realize they need each other, but Thomas, along with Becca’s mother do not want the teenagers together.
