Boogie Boy

...this movie is so confused it goes from good-bad to bad-bad quite early on. The sexual relationship between the two male leads would have been interesting if explored. Am I the only one who thought the lead (Mark Decascos?) was gay and struggling with his sexuality???

Well what can I say but give it a Miss if you know what is good for you

No plot. No story. And not much acting. Pointless scenes of drug use, band concerts, motorcycle riding, and a lot of worthless dialogue made me wanna dive head first off my balcony. Thank goodness my friend wanted to check in on the football game that was on TV, so we could stop this movie, often, very often and watch some of the game. As a HUGE Mark Dacascas fan.. this is very disappointing. Much like the Crow TV series.

Being an old movie, you could get this title for quite cheap. I recommend you go out and buy it, if you are into thrillers. The plot is very well written, with lots of twists and strange happenings throughout the movie. Some of the camera pans can seem to be a bit below par at times, but other than this, the movie deserves a thumbs up. Mid way through the movie, you will not know what is going on with some of the characters, but all is revealed at the end. The ending to the film is quite good, but it leaves you wanting more. I think this is what the director wanted people to think. Without a doubt, in my opinion Boogie Boy deserves a well earned 8/10.

BOOGIE BOY is a very low rent thriller and another example of Mark Dacascos and his lack of discernment when it comes to choosing the right material. It's a film that never really gets off the ground despite the violence inherent in the premise and the regular scenes of brutality and conflict that make up the narrative. Dacascos plays a guy fresh out of prison who falls in with some old gang members and a femme fatale, only for things to go very bad indeed. Dacascos himself is fine in the role and British actress Emily Lloyd isn't bad in an against-type part, but when the writing and direction are this poor you'll struggle to sit through it.

I liked Boogie boy a lot. I think it was a good film. It did have a plot. It was about friendship and loyalty as well as drugs. Mark Dacascos was pretty good but I think Jaimz Woolvett was even better,but Joan Jett was by far the one who was really doing the best acting. She was very good with her small little part and I think many who see this film will remember her more then they will remember the two leads. I also really enjoyed the movie's soundtrack.

BOOGIE BOY is an engrossing character study that is gritty, realistic yet stylish, very well acted, written and directed. It's possible that some people will buy or rent this movie looking for non-stop action, and perhaps they will be disappointed. However, for those who simply are looking to watch a quality film with a good story and interesting characters, this film is a must see. Mark Dacascos gives his strongest acting performance ever.
