Boon

This is a TV-level, slow-moving action story with excellent actors who save the movie from being much worse than it is. Nothing special about the plot except it's mostly older people (e.g., McDonough and Flanagan) with far less-than-believable backstories. Like almost all of these B- low-budget films, it relies on the frustrating stupidity of the characters to extend the action, but I'm only deducting 1 point for that (since at least they didn't knock down a bad guy and then fail to take his gun : ) but also had to deduct a point for the silly female antagonist, a cliché cardboard player who's ridiculous evilness makes the whole thing less realistic.

Up until 1 min til the end i would have give 4 or 5 outta 10 -the movie is meh ok for 1 time watch but the acting is terrible but it has good actors so not sure whats gone wrong there -and then there is the ending like they ran outa film to give 0 closure 3/10 avoid - and as for teh i voters that rated this 7 or higher uggh.

I was going to give this movie a average 5 star rating, then as it went along it became a 4 star rating and by the end it was 3 stars.

Character development-none...for anyone.

Writing...25% of the movie is someone screaming out the other person's name.

Plot...god question, when you find out let me know.

Drama/thriller...you do not care who get shot or why. There is no sympathy for any character.

Smart decision...maybe one, that the movie ends in 87 minutes and not destroy two or more hours of your life. Besides that, the movie continues to make the wrong decision. Not a single person ever called 911, including law enforcement.

Direction...patheic....a shootout in the middle of town and no one notices? I have a head start and multiple vehicles but I decide to stay for and wait for the villians because of what reason? Don't know.

Acting...there are some capable B-actors, but they are working with crappy scripts.

Just skip it.

This film is worth 1.5 hours of your time, provided you're sitting in your man cave polishing your collection of firearms. Yeah, it's that kind of movie.

Neal McDonough plays the title character, Boon, with cool flare. Sure, it's a rehashed plot - the burnout hitman who has developed a conscience and decided to quit the game only to be dragged back into the lifestyle - but most plots recycle something. Don't let that get in the way of your fun!

You'll certainly enjoy Mr. McDonough's work in this movie, and fans of "Son's of Anarchy" will note Tommy Flanagan's portrayal of Mr. Fitzgerald. Truly menacing on both accounts!

So, grab a six pack and a bag of chips, prop your feet and watch. You won't see this one win an Oscar, but I bet Boon will entertain you!

A couple of reviews here are bashing other reviewers for giving this movie a 1 or 2, but I don't know what they're smoking; this movie is absolute garbage. The plot is utter rubbish, the dialogue trash, and the music score awful. Most importantly, it's listed as an action movie, but there is like one real action scene in the entire movie, at the very end, and it's terrible. Do yourself a favour and don't waste an hour and half of your life on this movie. I really wish I could redo the time I lost on this one...
