This is probably one of my absolute favorite movies from the 1990's and for a Canadian film. I had happened to stumble upon the trailer to this movie way back in 1997 when it was playing on The Prevue Channel that showed different movie trailers and TV schedule and I had wanted to see it because it looked interesting. I had forgotten about it for about twelve years and finally had watched it and bought the DVD and when I finished it, I was blown away at how amazing it was, I had wanted more, the characters are interesting and the story is dark and deep.
John Fawcett the guy who directed this has directed a masterpiece, and i'm not kidding! It's one of the greatest Canadian movies you will ever see, period. The music composed by Jeff Bird and Michael Timmins is awesome too.
The movie is about three teenage boys who have their own club house and one day they find a man there who has a bullet wound in his leg and they hide him and they eventually become friends of sorts, but then when he tells them to get a car and starts getting violent and even taking one of them hostage, they find themselves in more trouble then they thought and have to find a way out of it without any adult help. The music is fantastic of mostly Canadian music (but some of it is American) and fits the film well. I love the music background score as well as it is upbeat and catchy. I wish this film would get re-released on Blu Ray or 4K Ultra HD with new extras and audio tracks but until then we are stuck with a bare bones release. This movie is worth every penny as it is a real masterpiece.
9/10 stars.
