Review of The Boy (2015) by Alex V — 27 Sep 2015
If you are staying at a motel and see the owner's 9 year old son running around late at night in a pair of tighty whiteys with a can of gasoline, pack up the bags and get outta there. Jared Breeze, playing a budding serial killer, carries the movie on his back. And he is up against an all start cast and in a "best of 2015" movie. Plus one of the producers is a guaranteed hard hitter.
Filmed in Columbia, near Medellin (once the drug and murder capital of Sud America), this is truly an international film. It is a bit on the long side--almost two hours--and I swear nothing happens in the first 30 minutes, but then it is the pedal to the metal, as young Ted kicks a chicken to death and escalates from there. A great motion picture.
