    Did I not watch the same movie as other reviewers?

    I am sorry but I thought this movie was a dud. The acting was poor, the direction was worse. I thought the storyline could have been better developed. I am actually surprised Peter Gallahger would participate in a movie with such low quality.

    The positive was unknown Micaela Nevárez. Rather attractive. Sadly she was stuck in a role that was stagnant. However, I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone. I fast forward through parts I felt irrelevant,or that I felt were pointless to the story... There were a lot of unfilled holes in this movie. It could have as couple different ways, they chose the wrong way.

    i have no words for this (in a very good way)

    i do not know why, but this film seems so calm and then such a nice romance and a strong story evolves.. i don't know, its like laying down on the couch and just going with the flow.. love the picture, the faces, the dialogues.. it's not flawless, but neither as life. all have their reason to be, dealing with many issues.. i thought 'the shelter' was my favourite gay-themed movie, but this 1 actually won my heart. please give it a try and let me know... don't expect any drugs, or trans or even anything else seen before in so many gay movies... this is not actually a gay movie, but rather a strong bond among 3 friends... LIFE PRESENTED INPERFECTLY PERFECT

    Strong idea, weaker script

    The War Boys is really interesting movie with a lot of taboo themes still to discuss. The strength of the plot is slightly drowned by weak script, linkings and 'humanity' of the story-building. All seems little bit in a dreamy stage almost like unbelievable reality of last centuries soap operas. Besides that this movie has really deep idea and strongly build relations between characters - which feels really good and it can drawn you to to story like you would be living it. Another admonition for me was blind places in the story and sometimes slow (and on the contrary fast) development of the story.

    Afterall I really enjoyed this movie full of nice romance - which could be developed more extensively, and difficult topics (rather problems) of modern society. I guess a longer movie with more details and stronger script would make it movie without any doubts.

    Every minute of the movie is worth it just to see +the scene+

    One of the hottest gay live scenes in film. The enticement, the hesitation and then finally giving in to it... Just wow. 10 minutes of edge of your seat build up and there's no let down!

    A Mixed Bag Of A Movie

    The War Boys

    Much was good, the acting, cinematography, the relationships but it just ran out of steam in the last 45 mins.

    It attempted to tackle some themes but alas it was very superficial in arriving at any conclusions.

    Overall I enjoyed it but it was instantly forgettable.
