Schoolboys William and Lee are polar opposites. One has led a sheltered life under a religious upbringing and the other is independently high-spirited and lacks parental guidance. Together, with no experience and no safety nets, they shoot a short film inspired by a chance viewing of
First Blood (1982).
It’s a skilfully made coming of age drama that has some quality laughs along the way, some emotional moments and some commentary on what constitutes friendship. Even if you didn't grow up in the era represented there’s enough archetypal events to create an attachment.
