DVD Review: Boot Camp (MGM) by Brian



Didn't I see this on Springer?

Every year, "troubled" kids are sent to correctional camps for one reason or another. Usually because parents don't want to act like parents.

Boot Camp is a fictional account of what happens in these camps.




To sum it up Sophie (Mila Kunis) is one of these "troubled teenagers" whose parents send her off to the rehabilitation camps, where they use psychical & psychological torture. Her boyfriend Ben (Gregory Smith) doesn't believe it & tries to break her out.

I found the message that director Christian Duguay was trying to convey extremely pretentious. Duguay was trying to say that these programs don't work. While I don't always agree with this programs to "rehabilitate" kids, they wouldn't be necessary it these parent would stop this stupid "time out" & PC crap & use some discipline.

But I digress. Overall the film wasn't bad, but it wasn't that exciting or thrilling at all. It was a bit predictable at times.

While not the worst thriller I've ever seem, it's far from the best.

At least worth the price of a rental.
