Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This is a very interesting lower-budget production portraying the life a late teenage boy, Sean, as he struggles to deal with things we cannot understand about his past. Sean is a deep character that doesn't fit until usual off-the-shelf vigilante narratives. He is not a person who lost all moral bearings and became entirely detached, as it is often the case of many vigilante characters. He is also not a ruthless hardened criminal justifying his acts on basis of his past. Permeating the story line are Sean attempts to reconcile a disjoint world of his own, as it throws conflicting signs triggering irreconcilable emotions at him. A most pleasant surprise of this small-production movie is that the supporting cast performs a surprisingly good job. Very basic and plain stock characters are avoided, which is refreshing to the a more attuned viewer. 'Boy Wonder' is definitively a recommended movie: complex, imaginative and requiring viewer engagement to be understood and fully enjoyed.

I don't usually write reviews, and I don't usually give tens to just any movie, but this one, my God, this one deserves a ten. The all movie is fantastic, solid, amazing. The actors, specially Caleb are above amazing. Truly fantastic performances. The script is fantastic, and the end, the end is in one word: EPIC! Definitely you must see this one. I really loved the movie and it's a shame this director hasn't had more chances to do any more movies. Congratulations to the all team who did this piece of art. Fantastic. Amazing! Brutal! Go see it! It's a hell of a joyride. When I saw the cover I thought: "a rip-off of The Crow!" Boy, was I wrong!

I really liked this movie. I actually didn't think Hollywood made movies this good any more but was pleasantly surprised. It pulls on your sense of morality and makes you ask questions about what is justified when a system of justice fails. It had me engaged from beginning to end. To me, the script was well- written. The pacing was perfect. It was well cast and well-acted.If people were looking to compare it to something, I think Dexter would be a natural comparison, but it had a totally different vibe and, honestly, the characters seemed much more real and compelling compared to the characters in Dexter.I'll save my highest praise for last (and this is very high praise for me) - I would have paid to see it in the theater.

Michael Morrissey has hit a home run, scored a touchdown and completed a hat trick, for those who like sport metaphors. Indeed, he wrote, directed and produced his first feature film and it is one for the record. The story is original, in that it has not been done before, at least not the key elements of the plot. Furthermore, he has a cast of mostly unknowns, with the exception of James Russo who plays Larry Childs. Russo is given top credit with Tracy Middendorf and Zulay Henao because they have more name recognition and experience, Russo has little screen time as does Tracy Middendorf, but Zulay Henao has the second most screen time along with the real movie lead, Caleb Steinmeyer. You may remember Henao from the movie 'Fighting'; I remember her part well. Caleb Steinmeyer who had no movie experience, just a few parts in TV series, carried himself very well; he was convincing in his role as Sean Donovan. His part was a demanding one, make no mistake about that. Again, Morrissey deserves praise for directing; the movie feels like a serious budget project but I'm sure it wasn't. In some respects it is considered a thriller; I acknowledge it has elements of that, as well as drama and a bit of action. It certainly does not look or feel cheap.The vigilante element has been noted in user reviews and I believe too much is made of that. It is not a vigilante story; it's far more complex. The IMDb storyline paints a better outline of what is at play. Sean is a complex character, but the movie makes us discover the real Sean with a very smart and methodical approach. The movie takes us on a ride we can't quite know where, and that ride has ups and downs but it has a definite path. Where it will end and how the key characters get there is a real surprise. The ending part of the movie is a jaw dropping crime stumper. You will remember this movie for a long time and many other movies will from now on be using 'Boy Wonder' as a benchmark. I will.I was careful not to spoil the story and it is best if you know little more than that IMDb storyline. I see good things happening for Morrissey's career, unless he becomes a one hit wonder; I look forward to another fantastic story by him. I recommend you see this movie; I have no reservations about it. It is a really good film. When I wrote this review, I noted the 6.9 rating at IMDb and the 70% score at Rotten Tomatoes; consider that conservative ratings. I rate it 8/10.
