Boston Kickout Trailers

School leaver Phil moves with his father from inner-city London to the satellite Hertfordshire New Town of Stevenage, where they are promised a brighter future...but all Phil finds there is a bleak, cultural wilderness; a world of unemployment, violence, alcoholism and drug abuse in 90s Britain

Reviews
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Forever Damned I suppose it showed promise but failed to deliver. A disjointed story of life in an English 'new town'.It couldn't decide whether it wanted to be Trainspotting or Grange Hill and it ended up being neither. Too many loose beginnings, middles and ends and you end up not caring about any of it.The only redeeming feature was the lovely Shona who it would have been better to see more of.
Angeneer While other similar films focus on the sociological aspects of working class life in Britain, this one recites a lighter story. The Phil-Shona interaction is probably the best part of the film. The toilet scene is a really memorable one, I felt like I'm a teenager again! Another good one is the club scene (and I don't mean the night club).
oliver4201 a rather mixed film this. The acting is great, (the scenes with Marc Warren stand out a lot) The script is in places a bit loose and the central romance is completely unbelieveable. However the soundtrack is great and visually its never stale. Over all this is worth watching just for Warren's skinhead singing along to The Damned. However the content is not for the squeamish and the whole section in Ireland is very forced, worth getting from the video shop.
eae A Boston Kickout is the act of vandalizing the neighorhood yards, uprooting plants and trampling gardens. It's behavior that a group of middle-class wannabe bad lads in a culturally bleak new town outside of London continue more from habit than conviction as they confront life after high school. What begins as a fast paced albeit low budget buddy movie becomes a more intelligent coming of age story with the appearance of Emer McCourt as the Irish lass who wants to have fun. Seems the answer to the main character's problem was to get laid - which was my theory when I was his age.
