This film was really good but who thought it was a good idea to end the movie so open ended???? American films always find it cool to leave the audience wondering. Touching love stories, friendship, father/son tumultuous relationship but no one knows what happened with the maid and the gasoline, does David live or die?

This movie has too many things in it: Immigration, Siblings relationships, race, gays, first times, different age couples and the collage is too much to handle in a single movie in my opinion. However, there is some great writing that has to be recognized. "We didn't cross the border the border crossed us..." and "George knows who I am..." and for those things I'm giving it a seven. But the conflagration of all this things into a single movie is a problem for me. But if they give you one shot I would have done the same... still a great movie but be prepared to edit it in your brain...

The War Boys is really interesting movie with a lot of taboo themes still to discuss. The strength of the plot is slightly drowned by weak script, linkings and 'humanity' of the story-building. All seems little bit in a dreamy stage almost like unbelievable reality of last centuries soap operas. Besides that this movie has really deep idea and strongly build relations between characters - which feels really good and it can drawn you to to story like you would be living it. Another admonition for me was blind places in the story and sometimes slow (and on the contrary fast) development of the story. Afterall I really enjoyed this movie full of nice romance - which could be developed more extensively, and difficult topics (rather problems) of modern society. I guess a longer movie with more details and stronger script would make it movie without any doubts.

The War Boys Much was good, the acting, cinematography, the relationships but it just ran out of steam in the last 45 mins. It attempted to tackle some themes but alas it was very superficial in arriving at any conclusions. Overall I enjoyed it but it was instantly forgettable.

Woof... This movie hit me right in the face. I had it for some time but for some reasons I didn't get any further, on a couple of occasions, than 10 minutes. Tonight, I was inspired, so it seems to be, and I watched it till the end. I was very impressed. The relationships between people are so subtle and finely shown, every situation is built up slowly, and only at the end you understand, you "feel". All the actors & actresses have done a wonderful job here. Also the writers & crew. I was very impressed.

One of the hottest gay live scenes in film. The enticement, the hesitation and then finally giving in to it... Just wow. 10 minutes of edge of your seat build up and there's no let down!

Very strange film.Let me say that the title is deceptive as is the buzz on the internet about it.It's not a war film unless growing up is war,nor is it a gay film unless a man and woman kissing is forever to be called a heterosexual film.Its a weird mix of coming of age and aloofness set in the border between Mexico and the US.Usually these "where am I and what am I doing with my life",have been urban city films for the most part.There have be a few exceptions and this is the best of the lot in that respect.Here we have 3 guys who in HS called themselves"the war boys"because they chased"beaners"for fun and reported them to the border patrol.It's strange that one of them,Victor Rasuk as Greg,is Hispanics himself and admits he would do anything to "fit in" so he could "get out". Brian J. Smith as George is white trash with Hispanics"kid sister"he doesn't like because she's different,wonderfully played by Cheyenne Serano as Cat.Finally the third is Benjamin Walker as David,the son of a well off and not so much liked "business man" Peter Gallagher as Slater .The gay theme comes from a long hidden but final coming out between George and David. While this may seem shocking and "earth shaking"it's minor compared to what happens as a result of a boredom and "getting back at dad"scheme that goes horribly wrong. Other more familiar themes are older woman Micaela Nevárez as Marta,last chance for love with younger boy Greg.Stuff we've seen before but in different contexts and not with such catastrophic end results caused by their own indifference while coping with getting by because of the silly prank they pulled to get back at David's dad Slater.It's not a film for everyone and many might not even check it out because of preconceived notions.That would be YOUR mistake. The ending is haunting and will stay with you for quite a while.One of the independent films well worth the effort.Only short coming is the lack of real drug cartel dangers of todays world.

At the beginning of the film, I thought this film was gonna be like three guys lounging around and finding love. Then all of a sudden, it becomes extreme when that David fella and his mates decide to steal his father's truck in whatever fake company he works with. Was this revenge due to the fact his father wanted to be sending him back to school? This is the thing, this movie was too fast for me, I didn't know what was going completely on what the storyline involved! The actors who played Marta and David did not give out proper emotions in this film. I thought Marta didn't seem to care like I can tell she wanted to get outta there. Including David, he just seem to be lost by always looking around him. During the sex scene's, I also felt that both characters weren't passionate enough to do it with the other actors. Finally the ending, it wasn't great to be fair. I always think when the scene fades and the scene isn't solved then pretty much it's a crap movie. I am so disappointed that it is, no wonder there's not enough comments on here to be honest :/

I agree with the poster who said a 4-hour miniseries would have been better. There are several issues addressed in this film, but the runtime precludes developing and bringing each issue to culmination. Having said that, there were indeed some great segments: of course, the boys discovering what was really in the stolen truck tops the list (actually, from that scene to the end of the movie). While the loss of virginity scenes (gay and non-gay) were excellent, for me the true highlight was elsewhere: the hands giving presents through the hole in the wall. Second would be George sitting on the stoop, talking to his sister. The father-son "fag" scene is another nice nugget. Watch the movie. Just understand that too much is attempted in too small of a time.
