Movie Reviews of The Prodigy (Unrated)

Movie Review: Holt Boggs: Wow! Where has this guy been?
Summary: 5 Stars

I've taught martial arts and hand-to-hand since the early seventies and the fight scenes in most movies are so hokey, the technique so pathetic, the reactions so comical (think Olivier Grunier) that I want to throw tomatoes at the screen. Lead Holt Boggs and stunt advisor Ron Balicki put together some of the most realistic and brutal fights ever filmed for this movie. That said, Holt Boggs, a black belt with "action hero" in his future for sure, is first of all an extraordinarily gifted actor who made his character, a hapless low level mob lieutenant, so real on every level, sympathetic, even heroic (You really have to see this guy act), it's like you know him, like you grew up with him in the neighborhood. He's that smart kid that should have made it, but fell in with the wrong crowd and went the wrong way because all his friends were doing it, and you want him to survive this insanity and do something better with his life. Usually these film characters are like cardboard cut-outs even when played by a DeNiro. This movie and these characters, it was more like being in the room with the actual people, part of the mob crew. For a movie with an over-the-top premise, all the characters except the assassin were grounded and believable and reacting as you would expect people to react to some incredibly bizarre and unstoppable lunatic popping in and out of their lives leaving a trail of carnage and bodies. You really gotta see this film.
