Boy Wonder

As vigilantes go, Sean Donovan, at first glance appears to be your run-of-the-mill brooding teen who looks to clean up the mean streets, but he has a dark past but also, in retrospect, no past, which is the difference between our vigilante and the others we see crowding up the box office, there is no history to this, no comic book source material or previous franchise to take from, Michael Morrissey has created a gripping and intense psychological thriller that is pulsating right the way through. The obvious success in this piece rests with Caleb Steinmeyer playing Sean, he lurks in the shadows but not really to scare or intimidate his victims, more to observe their every move and figure out his next one, but his story has much more going on, he seems to tolerate his father (Bill Sage) and slightly accepted his existence in his life, his father is a recovering alcoholic who often mistreated Sean, and of course Sean's mother, who was killed years before in a vicious car-jacking. an event which Sean recalls over and over again. He seems like a boy who held onto his mothers every word, and can surprise the audience in many moments with his intellect and his life outside of what life people expect him to be living in, he goes to the gym and can speak Chinese for starters. This is really what seems to be the kickstarter for Sean decision to put a hood over his head and shoe polish (I think) over his face, his decisions aren't motivated by trying to make the world a better place or even to technically avenge his mothers death all those years before, he simply wants to prove how society takes shape and how certain people get away with too many things, he sits at the local police station going through mug shots of criminals to pick out the one who killed his mother, he's been doing this for nine years, struggling to move on until he can satisfy his appetite for revenge. The cops that know him know his past, but one new detective, Theresa (Zulay Henao) is intrigued by his story, and the film sets up an unlikely pairing of the two as they both share a past that may intertwine in the not too distant future.

This is certainly not a typical heroic film, it isn't really telling a tale of heroics or good deeds but more a dark and troubled with a past who just can't move on, he pushes himself physically and mentally to be better than he was, but cannot let go of what drives him to his goal, don't expect a flashy and explosive flick such as Kick-Ass, we have similarly driven teens, but this offers a slightly more realistic approach as how the past can come back to haunt you, the performances are sublime and its a nice deviation from a crowded decade of spandex and what not, Sean Donovan is a very different type of vigilante, a troubled, undecided and unpredictable, much like the material of the film.
