The movie begins with an unsettling scene and immediately you know this is an abused kid.
The next scene is the kid's talking to an attendant, while being watched warily by his older "brother". Now for me this planted the first clue - that's not his brother and is this about child molestation? The reason that came to mind was, years ago, I was on a road trip by bus across the country, stopping at places like in the movie. This old guys walks up to me as I waited for my mom with my 5 year old son, and said, watch out for chicken hawks.
Next the rather startling comment the kid makes about his brother having sex with the motel manager and "using" her "hole". And the conversation he had with her. Was he taking about his brother, not his brother, or himself?
I really didn't see any particular affection or chemistry between him and the brother, and the question remains - who was doing the molesting or abusing? Who did the killing?
The idea for this movie may have come from a real life story, in which the boys did the killing. And the "brother" (actually a neighbor) did the molesting.
