Plot Summary
Twelve is the story of 17-year-old White Mike (Chace Crawford), the privileged son of a restaurant tycoon. His mother succumbed to breast cancer several years before the film begins. White Mike is a drug dealer who has taken his senior year in high school off to sell drugs to his wealthy peers. When he isn't selling drugs, he is reminiscing of his childhood and philosophizing about a world he feels he is not a part of. The title of the film refers to a new designer drug which the protagonist of the novel, White Mike, does not sell but the guy he gets his marijuana from (Curtis Jackson) does. The drug is referred to as a cross between cocaine and ecstasy. [Source]
The movie premiered on 29 January 2010 at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and was released in USA on 6 August 2010.
The trailer features Kids by MGMT and MK Ultra by Muse.
Film critics reckon that this is not a good movie, but I won't mind watching it, although after watching the trailer, I thought Chace Crawford's character in Twelve is too similar to his Gossip Girl character, Nate Archibald. Not a good thing.
