No, it's not just you. They were as stupid as heck. The remainder of this comment may contain spoilers for readers who haven't yet seen the movie! 10-year-olds have no clue how to drive an automatic car?!! They don't know how to switch on the headlights and therefore drive blind in the pitch dark at 80 mph? They don't know about the danger of guns? They've never watched cowboy movies and heard ricochets?
But the movie was riveting. All the actors were excellent, even the busybody lady, who couldn't leave well alone. But where were all the other cops? And why no helicopters out scouring the landscape?

The two boys were very stupid. I've got a son that age and I am sure he could figure out how to start the car and place the car into gear. He'd have trouble stepping on the gas and being able to see out the windshield though. I doubt he could figure out headlights while he was driving a car. While the car is parked and he can look, he'd probably figure it out.
My son's experience with firearms is limited to .22 caliber rifles under very strict supervision at Cub Scout events. The boys do things with those guns he would never do. The bullet proof vest target practice attempt was insane. Those boys seem to be from the country where it is relatively safe to wander around rural fields. You'd think they'd have some experience with rifles shooting tin cans off of a fence post.
I also think it is odd that the trunk guy didn't get the sheriff without getting shot himself.
