The War Boys is really interesting movie with a lot of taboo themes still to discuss. The strength of the plot is slightly drowned by weak script, linkings and 'humanity' of the story-building. All seems little bit in a dreamy stage almost like unbelievable reality of last centuries soap operas. Besides that this movie has really deep idea and strongly build relations between characters - which feels really good and it can drawn you to to story like you would be living it. Another admonition for me was blind places in the story and sometimes slow (and on the contrary fast) development of the story. Afterall I really enjoyed this movie full of nice romance - which could be developed more extensively, and difficult topics (rather problems) of modern society. I guess a longer movie with more details and stronger script would make it movie without any doubts.

Woof... This movie hit me right in the face. I had it for some time but for some reasons I didn't get any further, on a couple of occasions, than 10 minutes. Tonight, I was inspired, so it seems to be, and I watched it till the end.I was very impressed. The relationships between people are so subtle and finely shown, every situation is built up slowly, and only at the end you understand, you "feel".All the actors & actresses have done a wonderful job here. Also the writers & crew. I was very impressed.

This film has involved a few topics that intrigued me: border illegal immigration, struggle of 1st generation immigrants (Greg & Marta), law enforcement racial profiling (Greg), gay coming of age (David and George), adoption family (George), etc.The story had a terrific beginning and background set up. But then there are so many signals and story lines that audience are watching a diary, a soap opera rather than a film. The plot of the film was so loose. The real issue or truck mystery keeps getting ignored until the last 15 minutes. It lacked the build-up of tensions and the opening of that trailer was just unprepared. Marta walked into that trailer full of what was unexpected (I don't know why she did, while the boys were doing nothing there). The camera work and cosmetics for that trailer scene was very very poor that it could not bring any emotion out of audience. I am so very disappointed. I still give the film 6 out of 10 because I think the boys were good looking and good actors. They could've done so more with those intimate scenes. For god sake, tell one story well - not 10 stories poorly.

This great movie shows many problems people are facing everyday, whether in this country or around the world. The setting of this story is across the U.S./Mexican border where The War boys, a male trio composed of 2 white males and a Mexican, hang around and chase immigrants. When David, the 1 of the members of the trio, comes home from College, the trio end up stealing a truck from David's father, which supposedly has stuff from the black market. Throughout the story, you see two love interests reveal themselves. The first is with Greg and Marta, where he explains is because "he likes older women." The other is with David and George, the third member of the trio whom David had experiment with as a child. Both show common conflicts of people everywhere which makes this story easy to relate to.Lastly, when the boys finally look in the stolen truck, they find the dead bodies of countless dead Hispanics, and when Davids father shows up to get rid David gets shot by border patrol who thinks he's going to kill his father. While the last part is hard to related too, it still brings out deep emotion in the viewer for this is where their true colors unfold.
