Featured review
The Boy in Blue may not have had the sexiest tag line: Hanlan was one of the first scullers to successfully utilize the "sliding seat."
But hey, there are a lot of movies that don't sound great on paper but in execution, they're something special.
This film is special. You can feel the intensity in Nic Cage's eyes. He takes you on a journey you will not soon forget.
And who can forget such classic lines such as 'This is making me sick wearing these monkey suits', and 'Get up, Harvard man!'
It's impossible to see anybody else in this role.
10/10
