An Angry Boy

An Angry Boy is one of those movies that grabs you and holds on while it drags you through a story you did not know you wanted to know. And then it stays with you for days.

Being based on actual events makes you want to be more aware of your surroundings, and causes you to watch your children even more closely.

The movie was cast very well and the acting was spot on. They caught that teenaged awkwardness perfectly, and the creepiness of the bad people will make you uncomfortable at times. Even Owen's car is an attraction to be admired. I don't know where the cast found that old, perfectly-clean station wagon, but I wish I had the thing. And finally, the scenery was so strikingly beautiful throughout the movie that they probably should have given it all credits at the end.
