Boris and the Bomb

For a microbudget movie, there's a lot going on. The plot of Boris and the Bomb gets very complex. At the center is a lovable loser just trying to do the right thing, but he gets mixed up in some bizarre intrigue that spans generations. I'll admit I was a little lost for some of it, but considering the depth of the project, I'm impressed with the overall result.

Boris and the Bomb is a Comedic version of the Television Show Homeland or 24 where the hero is supposedly inept and past his prime. Tons of laughs, I reccomend this film.

Boris has a bomb, a severe problem, and a dedicated Yuber (not Uber) driver.

Boris and The Bomb is a fun romp that starts on the streets of Los Angeles. It's a light-hearted action-comedy that's full of heart (if that makes sense). The movie paces well, and we don't experience dull moments. The action/editing is done surprisingly well with higher budget movies still missing this mark. The movie entertains us through a fast-moving plot and a landscape dotted with new and outrageous characters. Don't take this movie and its characters too seriously. Make your popcorn, sit back on the couch, and escape into the world of Boris and The Bomb!

This seemed like a good premise and creative plot.....but was painful to watch. Maybe that's what the director and producers wanted but the mix of comic slapstyle and serious dramatic scenarios along with seemingly amateurish actors and acting doesn't seem like good shtick. The whole film was just so amateurish and made no attempt to hide it.....or offer anything in general worth seeing. I won't spoil the plot, you'll have to find that out yourself if you can sit through the entire piece. Good luck. So this rates just a 5, for barely watchable, a generous score and just above a 4, unwatchable. Nice effort though.

"Boris and the Bomb" is a fun, "do-it-yourself" style of filmmaking that must be seen to be believed!!!

J. Anthony McCarthy shines as the boisterous, lovable "Boris" in this comedic, apocalyptic tale of triumph!!!

Enjoy!
