i be amaze at the quality of this film and particularly after see picture of the barely adult director all 140 ( . ) lb of him . truly and a boy direct a movie about a boy . i look forward to see more luke eberl film . i do think this one be a bit too long . there be too much time spend show connor be unsuccessful ( and unwilling ) to make a move on owen . caleb do not try hard enough . owen and be so young and could have easily become closer to caleb and later decide it wasn not his preference . and owen would still have learn the valuable lesson about corruption and politics . instead and he do not give himself a fair chance to learn about his sexuality . and what about poor caleb . owen could have be a good influence . though the film intend to show owen a a hero who overcome pervert corruption and i felt sad for owen . he be offer the opportunity to have some boy boy fun with caleb and who be extraordinarily beautiful . owen do not have to go along with the political perversion a offer . but he could have try to have some fun with caleb and and still walk away when he want . it be clear that owen be in charge no one force him to do anything he do not want to do . but he could have have more fun and and with a very hot boyfriend and at that . i hope luke make more movie where appeal young character have more fun .
