Four Boys and a Gun

The title to this film is ridiculous, as the youngest 'boy' in this film is 22...and one is 34!! As for the film itself, it's not bad at all but suffers from one fatal problem...you really cannot feel sorry for any of the four.

The story begins with four friends committing a robbery. In the process, a cop is shot and killed. Surprisingly, the four are very quickly apprehended and the bulk of the film consists of flashbacks which show the motivations and lives of the four leading up to the robbery gone bad.

As I mentioned above, despite the flashbacks kind of explaining their motivations, none of the guys is especially easy to like nor excuse for their actions. The acting isn't bad and the cast does feature many familiar faces, such as James Franciscus, Frank Sutton, Fred Marth, the Campanella brothers (Frank and Joe) as well as Ned Glass. Because of this, the acting is nice and it makes it watchable but really nothing more. Overall, a time-passer and not much more.
