FILM REVIEW-"Spring Breakers"-  Great editing by Gami TVs own grad Sam Kirner and a driving, pounding soundtrack are the highlights of this crime thriller.  The storyline is in two parts and could have been separate films. They are loosely joined together, with the second half easily the better of the pair.
Both scripts are constantly interrupted by scenes of college students at their Spring party best and two rival gangster groups at work and play. Neither flows smoothly and the problem seems to be a weak script and poor direction.
  The action begins with three college age students who decide to rob a fast food restaurant in order to pay
for their Spring Break.  The trio add innocent friend Selena Gomez and head for St. Petersburg, Florida
to let loose and be free after a many months of study.  Several days of intense party scenes are followed
by jail and an introduction to the crime world in the Sunshine state.  Other cast members include Venessa
Hodgens, Ashley Benson, Rachel Korine, and Heather Morris.  James Franco, as the insane drug lord, has
the lone stand out performance.   The camerawork is often too tight and out of focus, techniques that are intentional but annoying.  The ending, while intense, is unbelievable. Skip the movie, buy the soundtrack !
