Boy Wonder

Boy Wonder (2010) – First of all, the title and taglines are completely wrong – the film doesn’t even approach the discussion of whether he’s a hero, plus he’s not even a real costume; moving on, this gritty film is largely carried by good jobs all around from a cast of unknowns, even though it’s hard to find somebody to root for and hard to believe this emo Punisher kid wouldn’t have gotten killed five times over; and, while the plot fits together a tad too neatly, the film does achieve some real emotional weight. 6
