Boon

I was going to give this movie a average 5 star rating, then as it went along it became a 4 star rating and by the end it was 3 stars.

Character development-none...for anyone.

Writing...25% of the movie is someone screaming out the other person's name.

Plot...god question, when you find out let me know.

Drama/thriller...you do not care who get shot or why. There is no sympathy for any character.

Smart decision...maybe one, that the movie ends in 87 minutes and not destroy two or more hours of your life. Besides that, the movie continues to make the wrong decision. Not a single person ever called 911, including law enforcement.

Direction...patheic....a shootout in the middle of town and no one notices? I have a head start and multiple vehicles but I decide to stay for and wait for the villians because of what reason? Don't know.

Acting...there are some capable B-actors, but they are working with crappy scripts.

Just skip it.

A couple of reviews here are bashing other reviewers for giving this movie a 1 or 2, but I don't know what they're smoking; this movie is absolute garbage. The plot is utter rubbish, the dialogue trash, and the music score awful. Most importantly, it's listed as an action movie, but there is like one real action scene in the entire movie, at the very end, and it's terrible. Do yourself a favour and don't waste an hour and half of your life on this movie. I really wish I could redo the time I lost on this one...

This film is worth 1.5 hours of your time, provided you're sitting in your man cave polishing your collection of firearms. Yeah, it's that kind of movie.

Neal McDonough plays the title character, Boon, with cool flare. Sure, it's a rehashed plot - the burnout hitman who has developed a conscience and decided to quit the game only to be dragged back into the lifestyle - but most plots recycle something. Don't let that get in the way of your fun!

You'll certainly enjoy Mr. McDonough's work in this movie, and fans of "Son's of Anarchy" will note Tommy Flanagan's portrayal of Mr. Fitzgerald. Truly menacing on both accounts!

So, grab a six pack and a bag of chips, prop your feet and watch. You won't see this one win an Oscar, but I bet Boon will entertain you!

The film gets a little slow but that makes sense because it's clearly inspired by old westerns like Shane and Hondo (two films with one cowboy guy protecting a woman and child in a dangerous west environment).

I'm a big Neal McDonough fan. Grew up watching Band of Brothers with my dad and later enjoyed him as a baddie in Walking Tall and Arrow. He was also in Resident evil, which I just saw and actually liked.

It was cool to see him be this western hero in a modern world.

Cinematography was awesome.

Loved the score.

Fun cast.

Some brilliant and fun action scenes (one with a spoon in a man's neck).

My only gripe is it was marketed as more of an action film and it's really a slow burn, which I do like a lot, but I can see action-fan boys and people who want carnage and gore throughout the run time to be a little let down.

Not at all as bad as these reviews are stating. Just a little slow but big payoff.

7/10.

Up until 1 min til the end i would have give 4 or 5 outta 10 -the movie is meh ok for 1 time watch but the acting is terrible but it has good actors so not sure whats gone wrong there -and then there is the ending like they ran outa film to give 0 closure 3/10 avoid - and as for teh i voters that rated this 7 or higher uggh.
