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...

A well done independent flick!

I am a huge fan of the movie 'Final Destination' and think that Devon Sawa is a good actor, thats why I saw The Boy's Club and because it really sounded intriguing. Three teenage boys have a secret hideaway in the woods and spend all of their spare time there due to the teacher's strike in their small town of Ontario. But when they encounter a mysterious drifter named Luke who is hiding out in their shack, things take a turn for the worst. At first things go fine. The three boys, Kyle, Brad and Eric admire this stranger and think he's really cool, but Luke has a deadly secret. I won't spoil it for you guys but this film is really excellent and kept me glued to the screen. The only other independent feature I have seen is the 1978 classic 'Halloween'. The Boy's Club is no Halloween, but it is a great flick. I am desperately trying to find a copy of this to buy. Amazon.co.uk don't have this available and American video cassettes don't work over here in Australia so I am in a fix. That's how much I love The Boy's Club. The film is well acted by it's young stars and you will really hate Chris Penn in the end. Don't let the independent/B-grade feel to this movie fool you, it is really cool and one of the best flicks I have seen in a long time.

Be careful about choosing your heroes .................

Three impressionistic 14 yr. olds discover a fugitive in an isolated shack they use as a club house. Chris Penn is excellent in the role of the unhinged and wounded killer. The script comes across as mostly believable, and builds tension nicely. The acting by all involved is totally acceptable, and the rural setting feels correct. This really is beyond the usual coming of age film, because of the violence. The film's message, if there is one, seems to be, be careful about choosing your heroes. For admirers of Chris Penn this is a must see...................................... Recommended as above average entertainment. - MERK

A Solid Movie

The boys club does not leave you with anything special. But also does not make you feel like you wasted your time watching it. It has mostly solid performances, and the plot is actually pretty original.

Three Teenagers, Brad, Kyle, and Eric are your normal everyday kids. When one day they go to their clubhouse and find a stranger Luke played by (Chris Penn). Injured and on the run Luke looks to the boys to help him get what he needs, and becomes a mentor of sorts in the process, or so they think.

I've seen this movie many times since I was a kid and have always liked it. If you got 90 minutes to kill, check it out.

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.

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? What 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?
