About This Movie

Boost (2016) is this gritty little gem that really captures the underbelly of crime without overindulging in melodrama. The pacing feels tight, dragging you along with Jimmy as he grapples with the weight of his choices. There's a raw, almost palpable tension throughout, especially when he realizes the stakes involve saving a child's life. It’s not your run-of-the-mill heist flick either; the performances lend a certain authenticity, and the practical effects ground the action in a way that makes it feel real. It has this atmospheric quality that can draw you in and make you invested in the characters’ fates. It’s a film that offers a lot to unpack if you’re into stories about moral dilemmas and the darker sides of human nature.
