‘Boon’ Review: A Few Flashes of Action and Intensity Save the Day

The story of Boon is about a former hitman who is trying to put his past behind him. To move on with his life, the titular mercenary has relocated to the Pacific Northwest. Boon (Neal McDonough) is forced back into the way of life he is attempting to atone for after a run-in with a widow and her son.

The last film starring Boon was formulaic, but it was still entertaining. This story appears to be attempting to hit the same note. The plot follows a predictable pattern and rarely deviates from it. When it does go in other ways, it’s mostly to highlight how good the protagonist is at murdering.

Despite its predictability, the picture manages to maintain a high level of tension. Emilia Fitzgerald’s (Christina Ochoa) moments are particularly well-done. All of this culminates in a thrilling final shootout. It’s large and well-shot, and it’s a great ending.

Even still, it’s difficult not to get the impression that the film is barely scraping by. The characters are hardly more than caricatures, and the kills are over-emphasized. The antagonists, except for Emilia, aren’t really interesting, and she has little character aside from being insane.

This is undoubtedly Boon’s most serious flaw. If the viewer has a rooting interest in the tale, it can get away with being formulaic. The heroes are vaguely defined, whereas the crooks are all one-note. The film has enough action, but it is lacking in excitement.

Christina Ochoa (‘Animal Kingdom,’ Jason Lee Scott (‘Mulan,’ Gabrielle Carteris (‘Beverly Hills, 90210,’) and musician Pat Monahan join McDonough, Flanagan, and Seidel in the cast.

Actor Neal McDonough has been in the business for over three decades! On television, he is most known for portraying Damien Darhk, a DC Comics villain, on ‘Arrow,’ ‘The Flash,’ and ‘Legends of Tomorrow,’ as well as Malcolm Beck on ‘Yellowstone.’

He has acted in films such as ‘Star Trek: First Contact,’ ‘Minority Report,’ ‘Walking Tall,’ ‘Flags of Our Fathers,’ ‘RED 2,’ ‘Sonic the Hedgehog,’ and ‘Captain America: The First Avenger,’ in which he played Marvel Comics character Dum Dum Dugan.’

Recently, Moviefone had the opportunity to talk with Neal McDonough about his work on ‘Boon.’ The actor opened up about his latest movie, why he enjoys playing Nick Boon, crafting faith-based films, and the prospect of a sequel.

He simply runs away from the world in ‘Boon.’ He declares, “I’m finished. This is something I can no longer do.”

Then he falls in love with this woman, which he never expected to happen because he still loves his wife and child, but they have died as a result of what he did. He is tormented by the pain. But then he falls in love with this woman, and now he needs to protect her because these people are running guns across her area.

Then Tommy Flanagan showed up and lit it on fire for us. I put in a lot of effort to have the best cast possible. It was a terrific film because of Tommy and everyone else who joined in. We’re so proud of what ‘Boon’ has become and what part three, or possibly part four, or whatever we’ll take this franchise, will be.

So, we’re quite fortunate to be in this position and to be able to develop Neo-Western films with a faith-based or faith-friendly backdrop, as we like to call it. So, we’re extremely fortunate and grateful to be alive at this time.

‘Boon’ opens in theaters, On Demand, and digital beginning April 1st.
