Boon: El protector

This movie was actually pretty good, certainly not as bad as the 1 star reviewers want to make you believe.

For some people there seems to exist only 1 or 10 star ratings and nothing in between.

6/10.

I hardly believe what I see, Neil Mc Donough, a usual supporting villain character, a heir of Lee Van Cleef, Robert Wilke, John Doucette, Skip Homeier, Jack Lambert.... So what a surprise for me to see him as an anti hero role, a professional killer wounded after a "contract" and then helped by a woman - a priest - who has "trouble" with mobsters. The following is very predictable, you can foresee it miles ahead. But it works for this good little B crime movie without any pretention. So please watch it as it is, don't expect too much, it is not a film destined to festivals, only streaming platforms and DVD racks. Some kind of modern times western with McDonough playing Jason Statham or JCVD as he was in the nineties.

This was fun. I grew up on western films and war flicks and this was definitely inspired those. Old school hero and some great action scenes but definitely felt we needed more Tommy Flanagan!

Loved the score, the look of the film and the acting was awesome.

Decent film to catch, especially if you're a fan of the genre.

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.

This is a TV-level, slow-moving action story with excellent actors who save the movie from being much worse than it is. Nothing special about the plot except it's mostly older people (e.g., McDonough and Flanagan) with far less-than-believable backstories. Like almost all of these B- low-budget films, it relies on the frustrating stupidity of the characters to extend the action, but I'm only deducting 1 point for that (since at least they didn't knock down a bad guy and then fail to take his gun : ) but also had to deduct a point for the silly female antagonist, a cliché cardboard player who's ridiculous evilness makes the whole thing less realistic.
