The Boys Club

This will give some a nostalgic feel of the 90's with dress code,the 90's grunge music and the grim and sometimes gritty setting of the plot.if your looking for a film with not too much to ask this would be decent selection.but if you are consciously looking for a low-budget film with a good performance by the actors and a good music score then this would be sweet film to watch.its characters are portrayed brilliantly by all the actors in the film including few known faces and some not very known.(stuart stone played donnie's friend in donnie darko).although it may have been released in cinemas which i don't know but its probably fawcett's finest attempts at film making (he recently made THE DARK[2006]).All in all i think it is a piece of entertainment that i would not mind watching maybe twice.i give it a 6.5 outta 10.

At first I thought this movie is a horror movie, hehehehe... The setting of this movie is in Southern part of Ontario in Canada ( I live in Ontario too but i'm in the city though). This movie is okay, they did an okay job. The first half of the movie is a little boring but the second half is getting more and more interesting, when the figutive guy shot this guy's brother and won't let them take him to hospital. I thought he's going to die. Plus, the singer known as 'BIF Naked' did a cameo on this movie as a security guard of the beer store. That was a little surpirse. I don't really recommend this movie to anyone because there's a lot more movies out there that is more worth it to watch. I will give this movie 6 cans of pop out of 10.

Ok, so I admit...I rented this to see Devon cuz I've loved him ever since Casper(pretty lame, huh?). Anyhow, the movie was actually pretty good. But I know that the only reason that I'm saying that is cuz of Devon. At least I admit it. But don't get me wrong, the movie wasn't bad...I liked it :) I loved to see Devon's cute voice crack all the time and his daring, bad boy(well, sorta bad boy), wild, and adventurous self.

Not really worth a review, but I suppose it's my duty to warn you all - especially since there are some pretty good reviews of this Canadian bomb floating around out there... Bad acting and a slow moving, absolutely atrociously boring 'coming of age' tale in which 3 boys lives are turned upside down when a man on the run shows up at their clubhouse in the woods. At firs the boys make good with the intruder and at one point even view him as some sort of a role model... However all this changes... and you still won't care. You will recognize Chris Penn, whose biggest cinematic impact is Corky Romano, and a young Devon Sawa, whose career peaked at 'Casper'. I was hoping for a '12 and Holding', 'The War', or 'Lie' and all I got was a waste of time. This film struggles to keep it's audiences attention and never makes an impact or maintains a note of anything remotely interesting.

Three impressionistic 14 yr. olds discover a fugitive in an isolated shack they use as a club house. Chris Penn is excellent in the role of the unhinged and wounded killer. The script comes across as mostly believable, and builds tension nicely. The acting by all involved is totally acceptable, and the rural setting feels correct. This really is beyond the usual coming of age film, because of the violence. The film's message, if there is one, seems to be, be careful about choosing your heroes. For admirers of Chris Penn this is a must see...................................... Recommended as above average entertainment. - MERK

Three boys circa 14 years old have a shack in the woods where they go as a clubhouse. They have pin up girls and smoke cigarettes. The story centers around Kyle (Dominic Zamprogna) who is typically tongue tied around girls. Things are pretty normal until Luke, (Chris Penn) a strange man, shows up with a bullet hole in his leg. The boys think this is cool and do what they can to aid him...something which horribly backfires. The movie is tame for the first 50 minutes. It isn't until Luke has mobility does things pick up. The acting was okay, but the plot was a bit flat. Let's just say it's a Canadian thriller. Parental Guide: F-bomb. Pin-up nudity. Sexual intimidation.

This movie was quite interesting I'd say. It first just starts as a boring kinda of summer for 3 boys until they find a man in there club house way out in the woods. The man says he is a cop hiding from some other cops. It turns out he is not all what he says to be...

Kyle, Brad, and Eric spend time in their abandoned cabin in the woods. The best friends are not the most popular. Kyle has a crush on Megan. His home life is problematic. One day, they find injured Luke (Chris Penn) recuperating in their hideout. He claims to be a cop on the run from corrupt colleagues. This is fine as a Canadian indie. Penn is the most notable actor. With younger kids, it would be more believable and more intense. The audience would fear for younger boys more. The danger level would simply be higher. Although with older boys, Megan can be old enough for that scene to work. It is possibly the best scene in the movie. A better Megan would make it even better. The low production value keeps this strictly in indie territories. This struggles to be better than that.

A great Story, might scare little children. Chris Penn and Dominic (Kyle) especially good. I was surprised that I liked it. I've seen Chris Penn lots of times, and is dependable. But, Dominic (?) as Kyle, who is he? Was very good.

It's pretty well made, though these kids seem years too old to have a club house. It's just so bleak, it seems like maybe they could have lightened it up. It reminds me of Repeaters, though it's not that dark by a long shot, but it feels like such a slog to get to the good parts.
