Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 12, 2005 Full Review Brian Mckay eFilmCritic.com Can't decide it it wants to be an action film or a heroin drama, and does both pretty badly. A few decent action scenes and some howlingly bad-funny dialogue though. Rated: 2/5 Apr 26, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Back in the 1990s Mark Dacascos was a rising action star. He didn't reach the level of Van Damme or Schwarzenegger, but his low rent flicks are sometimes very enjoyable trash cinema. Boogie Boy is a prime example of that kind of trash. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Eine jener obskuren kleinen Perlen, die man in den filmhistorisch noch kaum aufgearbeiteten Weiten des DTV-Kinos der 1990er Jahre hin und wieder entdecken kann. Originell insbesondere darin, wie er sich zwischen alle Genrestühle setzt und darin durchaus unberechenbar bleibt: BOOGIE BOY ist nur am Anfang und am Ende Actionfilm, dazwischen mäandert er relativ freifließend zwischen Drogendrama, Musikfilm und hippieesker Aussteigerphantasie. Immer ein wenig neben der Spur, und mit dem charismatischen und stets unterschätzten Marc Dacascos - neben Frederic Forrest, Traci Lords, Joan Jett und weiteren interessanten Darstellerentscheidungen - auf den Punkt besetzt, entspinnt sich ein entspannter, verschrobener und merkwürdig faszinierender Film im typischen, meist etwas angeschrabbelten 90er-Videopremieren-Look. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Strange, imbalance & wrong tempo. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
