Brilliant film - only saw it by chance
Format:DVD The concept of Boy Wonder attracted me, but the film totally surpassed all of my expectations. I found myself reminded of Scorcese, not just in the underlying violence of the subject matter, but in the way shots were framed - and just the sense that there was somebody behind the camera who know exactly what film he wanted to make.All of the actors - who to me are mostly unknown - were great, but Caleb Steinmeyer in the title role gave a fantastic performance and I will be surprised if he doesn't achieve a higher profile later in his career. It looks clear that Boy Wonder is destined to fly so low under the radar that it will dissapear without a trace, and that's a real shame - clearly made on a shoestring, but one of the best films I've seen in a while.
- Published on Amazon.com Format:DVD Boy Wonder is not a superhero movie. Although it shares a similar origin story to many of our favorite superheroes, Boy Wonder is about a kid, Sean, that witnesses his mother get murdered. He is haunted by this memory and decides to hunt down the man that killed his mom. Throughout the story, he'll seek justice for others usually in a violent way (often fist-fighting or shooting). There are other psychological aspects that you begin to notice during the second half of the film when you realize Sean may actually be mentally ill. The ending has some decent twists. The emotional story, the thrilling action, and even the comedy between the cops make this film a great one. The acting was great, and the music really stood out to me. Definitely one of the better films released recently. Is it a pure superhero film? No. Don't expect a huge budget with amazing special effects and mutated villains. This is a realistic film of a young man seeking justice.There is some violence and blood throughout the film, there is no sex or nudity so it's pretty safe. If you're even slightly interested, Boy Wonder is available on Netflix streaming as of 6/24/12. I highly recommend you check it out.
