small Canadian indie

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.

Basically, all I have to say is that Devon Sawa is FINE!!!!

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.

Another bleak but well acted small Canadian movie

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.

Showed promise, never delivered

Kyle, Brad and Eric are three young teenage boys with a secret clubhouse where no girls are allowed unless they take off their tops (a reference to the pictures on the wall). One day they find Luke in their clubhouse with a gun, a badge and a big secret. Luke seems nice enough and even becomes a good friend to the boys. But he has been shot and he doesn't want them telling the cops or even taking him to the doctor. His wound is minor enough the boys can fix him up, but there may be something he's not telling them.

Kyle wants to be a pilot, but his father does not seem to support his dreams, and he has a loser jerk of an older brother named Jake. He also wants to date Megan.

I liked the scenes with Kyle and Megan. There was some comedy in this movie, and a scene where two of the boys made trouble in a liquor store was one of the most enjoyable for me. I thought Chris Penn gave a really good performance as Luke, making a dramatic personality change as the movie took a dark turn.

Some movies might have recovered from what happened in the second half. For me, this one never did. It was more violent than I would have liked, for one thing. And some things happened in that club house that just weren't pleasant. I was hoping this movie would be a little more positive. It wasn't exactly 'Stand by Me'.

A secret club, a hidden truth

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...

Citas
Eric: This is rash. This is the rashest thing that's ever happened to us before.
Kyle: Right, what are we even talking about this for?
Brad: Why don't we just go home?
Eric: The guy's a fucking fugitive, man.
Brad: Great, I hate this, you realize that?
[Eric breaks a stick with his knee and throws it into the woods]
Eric: What? Who do you hate?
Brad: Yeah, hilarious. The guy said it was the police that are after him. So why don't we just not do this, okay? Are you even listening to me?
Eric: No.
Kyle: Look at this thing.
[Kyle, Brad and Eric see a old car]
Brad: What does this say about him? I guess he was a little disappointed.
Kyle: C'mon, he's a cop, Brad, we gotta help him.
Brad: We don't- we don't even know the guy, I mean, there might be accomplices. Kyle, the guy's been shot. He needs real medical attention, I mean we could have a real doctor go down there and no one would know the difference.
Eric: What? Look, you heard what he said, right? The only thing he's got is us. Us three, our shack, our fucking shit, okay? All right? Let's go Kyle.
[Kyle taps his hands on the back of the trunk of the car]
Eric: What? Look, you heard what he said, right? The only thing he's got is us. Us three, our shack, our fucking shit, okay? All right? Let's go Kyle.
[Kyle taps his hands on the back of the trunk of the car]
Eric: One, two, three.
[They start to push the car, but Brad stops]
Kyle: This doesn't have to be a big deal, Brad. We push the car, so what?
Eric: [shouting to Brad] Here we go, Bradley! Are you in or are you out? Huh?
Brad: [shouting back] Of what?
