Featured review
A masterpiece......
Few people have seen this little known gem, and that is a shame. Unfairly snubbed at the Oscars, this tale of growing up in a cold, harsh world is as biting as it is funny. Three youths, seeking purpose in a largely uncaring world, embark on a journey of discovery and tee pee building which will ultimately change the way that they look at the world and the way that they look at themselves.
The summer after they lose one of their best friends, Stevie, Noah and Chris decide to go on a camping trip. They face many dangers along the way, including a killer dog, bikers, drug dealers, and fascist cops. When they finally make it to their campsite, they have to face Snake, a dirt bike riding, paint gun wielding madman who will stop at nothing to stop trespassing on his turf. Once camp is established, all seems well...until a chilling climax that will leave you shivering with thoughts of what could've been....A gripping, well told tale with superb acting, writing, and direction. A must see for any film fan. Be warned, however...you may begin to see a little of yourself in these characters....4 out of 4 stars.
