The commonly used phrase "blood is thicker than water" when it comes to one's devotion to friends or family members. But there are always exceptions to the rules. Simon (Nico Stone) is a endearing young man, relied upon to help his family members in need, which requires him to commit larceny on a daily basis. His self-serving brother Sean gets arrested and needs to be bailed out, his uncle Harold (Seymour Cassell) who abandoned his own family is in failing health as well as his grandmother. Nico is not a carrer criminal but receives unrelenting pressure to assist his family members as they question his devotion in the process. Outside of the ailing grandmother, he has been used and mistreated by those closest to him for years. That's what makes Simon's life altering decision so difficult. Does he go through this string of robberies, sacrificing his own life and future, for these people who have used him as a pawn only to benefit themselves. "Booster" has a thin storyline centered around an unappealing dysfunctional family that is impossible to feel sympathy for. Nico Stone's performance is the only reason that keeps this movie watchable. For additional reviews visit: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/member/Nesbitt10
