this be an action fill movie that my boy ( age 8 and 11 ) love . they relate well to the two boy in the movie . the boy be believable and authentic . they especially like that there be no lovey dovey stuff in it . i be a little concerned with the occasional swearing and violence . but and it wasn not the young boy that swore and so that help . it be far good than stand by me since the boy in this movie be good role model . yet and this movie still show the theme of the struggle of grow up and make choice . also and the adult in the movie ( for the most part ) be not show a stupid or oblivious people . the best part be that the theme of loyalty and friendship come through with fly color .
