4.0 out of 5 stars How far will you go to protect a friend?, January 26, 2002

This review is from: Blue Ridge Fall (DVD)

When Aaron reacts with violence to his father's domestic abuse, his friends are faced with the question "How far will you go to protect a friend". The boys make their decisions but through ill-chance and bad-decisions events quickly spiral out of control and no-ones life is going to be as it was.

Overall this film was watchable and the plot moved along well. The script is adequate but in no way great. All of the main characters were believable and you could easily empathize with the boys, however it suffered in that none of the characters was fully developed and the ending was, at best, ambiguous. I found the situation compelling but I had the feeling throughout that this could have been MUCH better with a stronger script.

Story about the difficult choice teenagers must often make between the rule of law, family loyalty, and the code of friendship.

5.0 out of 5 stars One decision can change everything, March 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Blue Ridge Fall (DVD)

This was an excellent movie. It shows how one decision can cause events to quickly spiral out of control. That decision eventually affects everyone in the movie.
