Keanu Reeves, Crispin Glover, and Dennis Hopper star in a film truly from the 80s, complete with jean vests and exclamations of "radical". River's Edge tells the story of a group of friends and how they react when one of them kills his girlfriend, and shows off her dead body to the rest. The movie paints a picture of delinquency - truant kids with no solid home base smoking, drinking, stealing, and otherwise with no regard for authority. Loyalty to one another is of high regard, and a warped perspective of what is "right" and "wrong" influence their every move. An interesting film, better than I expected.
