savana_gutierrez This movie was cute. I like the part where they dress up as girls. I think it was cute when Rider's character, Lenny was drowning and his friend saved him. It was cute when Rider taught his friend how to fight and Rider's friend taught him how to swim. I give all movies with Rider Strong in them at least 9 stars, that doesn't mean they're really that good. But honestly I love all of his movies, but it might just be the fact that Rider is hypnotizing me with those gorgeous blue bedroom eyes of his, and his fluffy flippy dippy hair, and making me think these movies are good, just because he is in it. I'm not saying these movies are bad, but maybe only people who like Rider Strong would enjoy this movie.

Havan_IronOak I really wanted to like this story and was willing to suspend disbelief but this film just had too many continuity/believability problems to allow that for long.The two leads are both attractive young men and it was fun watching their friendship form. It was also fun watching the inter-relationships between the other boys but I kept getting distracted by just how unlikely the plot devices were. Also, the next time a head master of a distinguished private school is giving a speech and the best literary reference that he can make in his speech is a lame reference to Great Expectations perhaps the head master's speech should be written out. Before watching this I'd recommend School Ties (1992) or Dead Poets Society (1989) or The Emperor's Club (2002) or even A Separate Peace (2004) (TV) All have much more convincing plot lines than this. In two separate spots the "villain" is about to be lurking just around the corner when something saves him. The villain is looking for one kid on a list of about 8 and the kid we KNOW he's looking for keeps making obvious mistakes that would clue in anyone who was really looking in a heartbeat. e.g. claiming to be from Tampa and not knowing whether its on the Atlantic or the Gulf. It also bothered me how dyslexia was tossed about as a plot point without any real understanding or compassion.The actors did great with what they had to work with but this could have really used at least one more script revision before it got shot.

Memlets First off, this movie is not a comedy. It's very serious. Keeping that in mind, read on.Lenny is a sweet-natured orphan raised on the streets, but he's also a teenage hitman-in-training who is sent to find the only witness to a mob hit. The witness, Greg, also a teenager, is now under FBI protection and attending a prep boarding school in Montreal.Apparently Lenny's wise guy foster dad, who gave him the assignment, managed to find out where Greg was but couldn't supply a photo (the Mafia isn't as sharp as it used to be), so it's up to Lenny to enroll in the school, go to classes, participate in school activities, and figure out which kid is Greg.Right. This could happen. In real life. Yes, indeed.Then there's Lenny's dyslexia, which makes him feel bad about himself. (Training to be a hitman evidently doesn't harm his self-esteem, however.) My favorite part of the movie is when the school counsellor, having noticed that Lenny can't read, gives him a pamphlet on dyslexia for him to -- yes! READ!!

parky-3 It's tough being a kid sometimes. Especially when you watch a hit-man murder both your parents in front of you in cold blood. So you're put on the Witness Protection Program. You find a friend, and it seems like maybe this world ain't so bad after all. Then it turns out that your new buddy works for your parents' killer. It all adds up to a tragic life for one kid, meaning we get to sit and watch a passable thriller for two hours.
