** Again soon after, when [[spoiler: Luli shoots Eddie]], '[[Music/PatsyCline I've Fallen To Pieces]]' plays.
* SuddenSoundtrackStop: When Luli [[spoiler: shoots Eddie]], the sound cuts out entirely and is replaced with Luli saying the word 'Pop'. Immediately after, sound returns.

Jail Bait is now a disambiguation. Deleting/replacing wicks as appropriate. Moved to discussion


* JailBait: Luli, again. To disturbing levels. Basically, we have a character who spends the entire movie oozing sexuality, from her sultry demeanor, her propensity to dress like a backwoods hooker to her shameless manipulation of men much older than she. If she was in her twenties, it would be sexy on a Sharon-Stone-in-''Film/BasicInstinct'' level. But she's 13 and ''doesn't look any older''. To say it makes your skin crawl is an understatement (it might not help that Creator/ChloeGraceMoretz's mother is one of the producers).
