This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

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.

I remember watching this on Hallmark, a long, long time ago. I loved it as a middle-schooler! Saw it again, after 15+ years... Time flies!The focus of the story is the friendship between the two boys... the hit-man and the target, as it turns out. I can see how the moment of the teenage hit-man's poignant realization that he's only being used, that the man he looks up to doesn't really care a fig about him, might seem too cliché and obvious to some... Not me :DWatching it again, I think the movie has held up pretty decently: 10/10.

This movie was one of twelve under the umbrella title "Tales of Intrigue" made by Allegro Films for a Canadian pay TV network. I haven't seen any of the others, but I have a strong feeling from this entry that the others are pretty poor just like this one. I have to agree with the other user commenters that the script has a number of, "Oh, come on now!" moments, starting from the first scene. While one may think from what I just said in the previous paragraph that the movie may be unintentionally campy, it isn't. It's an extremely slow, heavily padded story with no tension at any point, and you'll be able to predict what will happen long before it happens. I guess the production values are passable for a Canadian TV movie effort, and the movie gets a few points for being the rare Canadian movie that is actually set (mostly) in Canada. But it's only worth watching for those non-Canadians who may be wondering why most Canadians don't embrace their nation's movies and television shows.

Teenager witnesses both of his parents murdered. He is placed into the witness protection program and given a new life. Things seem to be getting better, but one of his best friends harbors a dark secret. Undistinguishable and unmemorable thriller, but an appealing cast carries it as well as some nice life lessons and values. More entertaining then it ought to be.Rated R; Violence.
