Very disappointing...

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Pretty good take on the vigilante genre but not for everyone.The movie doesn't give you all the answers and it can be confusing at times, especially when the flashback scenes starts coming from nowhere.Those scenes does not in any way, shape or form look any different from any of the present time scenes, so where as most movies would add a filter or make the flashbacks black and white this movie does not.The backdrop of the main character reminded me of Peter Parker/Spiderman and it has a slight comic book feel to it (and the name alone hints of that) but it's very far from a buttkicking superhero flick so don't expect it to be that too much.In tone (and some events) it's more reminiscent of the Jodie Foster movie 'THE BRAVE ONE (2007)' but I find this movie to be slightly more entertaining than that tbh.The acting is good enough, feels like it might have been slightly rushed while filming (due to budget reasons mainly) though but yeah overall a pretty solid independent drama-thriller that's worth watching.

I don't review a lot of movies. Mostly, I take what I get. This one was different. It was so well thought out and written that it is a shame that it loses points for bad acting. Had this. It been the case, this flick certainly would have earned a 9+. Even with the ridiculously bad acting of Zulay Heneo and some serious detail misses e.g. The cup and saucer grip of a supposedly experienced police officer, this movie is written so well and makes a solid statement. I liked it!It's a solid psychological view of a young man with a plan. Very believable and very reasonable. Revenge movies are generally pretty predictable and this one is no real exception, other than some nice twists on how the revenge is exacted.

A fantastic movie, which has sudden jolts in pace and mood. This is probably the most underrated movie I know off as it is pure indie movie making genius. Flashbacks are highlighted by colour (as in a yellow hue) instead of a dreamy washed out colour correction to indicate a past time event. The movie throws in a few clever red herrings which gets you guessing what might be happening, but then after a twist you realise that you thought wrong, as the director would have wanted us to of course. This movie is an example of a very well planned storyline. I just loved this movie and the cinematography & editing was very clean looking with clean cuts just running with the story. I very much enjoyed this movie and I'd rate it in my top 20 best movies in my mind that I've ever seen.

It is cold and wet so I decided to watch a DVD this afternoon. I have a few discs that I picked up in the bargain bin at the local video store for just such a day as this and the first one I pulled out of the box was Boy Wonder. Needless to say that immediately made me think of Batman's sidekick, Robin and, being out of the bargain bin, I guessed it might be some third-rate semi-superhero attempt at elevating Dick Grayson to some sort of solo role in the same vein as Batman. How wrong THAT was! It was WAY better than anything that would have been!At first it was a bit hard to know what was going on (but that was probably me more than the movie! LOL) However as the story unfolded, I was increasingly reminded of the TV series, "Arrow." A quiet young man who witnessed his mother's murder has dedicated his young adulthood to finding the truth and avenging her. As often happens in such plots, along the way, Sean (the boy) runs into other low-life characters who like to throw their weight about on women and, since he's right on the spot, he deals with them - in no uncertain terms!Quiet as Sean may be, he has spent a lot of time working on self- discipline and martial arts and fitness and so he is a lot more effective that one might, at first, expect. This results in some quite satisfying "rough justice" sequences that I found particularly enjoyable. This could have something to do with the very topical situation here in Australia where there have been (at least) a couple of nasty crimes in which rapists and pedophiles have been "treated humanely" (THAT'S a bloody joke!!!) by the judiciary prompted by bleeding-heart wowsers" and, after pathetically inadequate jail sentences, immediately on parole release, re-offended with young wives walking home from work have been murdered. We need a Boy Wonder here! (Actually, we need the reinstatement of the death penalty!)I don't want to add any spoilers here but suffice to say that Sean has also educated himself and has a "special" little trick up his sleeve which he uses to great effect in the climax. I loved it!!Zulay Henau as the leading actress was very endearing in a difficult situation as a new cop on her watch. I really hope we see more of her. If anyone, she reminded me a little of Eva Mendes. And, with a bit more experience, Caleb Steinmeyer (Sean) could easily become a big name star in the Bruce Willis-type roles.Not a blockbuster by any means, Boy Wonder was an enjoyable way to spend a dreary winter afternoon.
