Boyne Falls

A movie about some young city guys who venture into the woods and encounter some scary creeps. I know, you've seen it all before.....many, many times. True, but you haven't (I assume) seen it visualized like BOYNE FALLS. Just when you think you know what's going to happen next .... it doesn't.

Worth (subjective I know) seeing how some independent filmmakers can take an overly done concept and turn it into something original. Sort of like what CABIN IN THE WOODS did (without a multi mil budget).

Boyne Falls is one of those hidden gems. You are just browsing movies and come across it and give it a shot. My expectations were low but I was pleasantly surprised. The chemistry between the two bros was so good. You root hard for them to be best bros again. While also hoping they don't die. Their intimate struggle to rekindle their friendship and feelings for each other will pull at your heart strings. You can also relate to the villains and their desperate attempt to just keep their drug operation safe. They could have went about it better in hind sight. But they only wanted what was best for their business. The female mob boss reminds me of a feminine Scarface. Bad to the bone! Gripping suspense throughout, non stop action and I will definitely be watching this again at least four more times!

Everyone's drunk at a family reunion when Timmy mentions he read about a guy who won a genuine movie camera on eBay. Sally says she's always wanted to be in a movie. Bobby Sue and Carl think she'd be a perfect leading bad guy. Everyone else chimes in. If only they had a script. Wait a minute. Aunt Clara wrote a Sunday School presentation. Who wants to be the director?

Next thing you know, you're watching it. It's called Boyne Falls.

One star for the scenery. One star for the main bad gal's radio message where she uses the f bomb five times in ten words. One star for it mercifully ending after only 84 minutes. Three stars.

This movie is terrible. The dialogue is garbage, the camera work is bad, and the actors are awful. Domink is the worst. His expression does not change once during the entire movie. The plot sounds like it could be interesting, but the movie is horrible. Please go watch something else.

I was surprised by the acting. My only complaint about the acting was the character Dominik, played by Axel Harney. I felt he wasn't successful at showing a large range of emotions. Overall though, I felt everyone did a great job. The plot felt well thought out with no holes, and although it did lack originality it still held my interest throughout. I could find no holes in the plot and found it suspenseful enough. The characters were fleshed out & the movie went along at a good pace. I was a bit confused by the purpose of some, but not all, of the flashback scenes. Many times it appears that they don't know how to end a movie so it abruptly ends and leaves one asking, "is that the end?". This movie wasn't like that. The ending made it very clear as to what happened.
