      • Quotes

        Eric: This is rash. This is the rashest thing that's ever happened to us before.

        Brad: What are we even talking about this for? Why don't we just go home?

        Eric: The guy is a fucking fugitive, man.

        Brad: Great, I hate this, you realize that?

        Eric: What? What do you hate?

        Brad: Yeah, hilarious. The guy said it was the police are after him. So why don't we just not do this, okay? Are you even listening to me?

        Eric: No.

        Kyle: Look at this thing.

        [Kyle, Brad and Eric see a old car]

        Brad: What does this say about him? I guess he was a little bit disappointed.

        Kyle: C'mon, he's a cop, Brad, we gotta help him.

        Brad: We don't- we don't even know the guy, I mean, they'll might be accomplices. Kyle, the guy's been shot. He needs real medical attention, I mean we could have a real doctor go down there and no one would know the difference.

        Eric: What? Look, you heard what he said, right? The only thing he's got is us. Us three, our shack, our fucking shit, okay? All right? Let's go Kyle.

        Eric: One, two, three.

        [They start to push the car, but Brad stops]

        Kyle: This doesn't have to be a big deal, Brad. We push the car, so what?

        Eric: Here we go, Bradley! Are you in or are you out? Huh?

        Brad: Of what?

      A well done independent flick!
      I am a huge fan of the movie 'Final Destination' and think that Devon Sawa is a good actor, thats why I saw The Boy's Club and because it really sounded intriguing. Three teenage boys have a secret hideaway in the woods and spend all of their spare time there due to the teacher's strike in their small town of Ontario. But when they encounter a mysterious drifter named Luke who is hiding out in their shack, things take a turn for the worst. At first things go fine. The three boys, Kyle, Brad and Eric admire this stranger and think he's really cool, but Luke has a deadly secret. I won't spoil it for you guys but this film is really excellent and kept me glued to the screen. The only other independent feature I have seen is the 1978 classic 'Halloween'. The Boy's Club is no Halloween, but it is a great flick. I am desperately trying to find a copy of this to buy. Amazon.co.uk don't have this available and American video cassettes don't work over here in Australia so I am in a fix. That's how much I love The Boy's Club. The film is well acted by it's young stars and you will really hate Chris Penn in the end. Don't let the independent/B-grade feel to this movie fool you, it is really cool and one of the best flicks I have seen in a long time.
