Chłopcy z paczki

I watched the original and already half-century(!) old film when I was seventeen, and I remember that I found it very strong and bold for its time, but also very talky, drawn out and unfinished in a sense. The Netflix remake sticks pretty closely to the original, but has the disadvantage that nowadays a film like this can't shock anyone anymore. Acting-wise, it's handled very well, though I had a problem with some of the characters - which I'm sure was the primary intention. It's almost frightening how toxic and dangerous some friendships can be. P.S. Jim Parsons portrayed two "royally mean 4% scumbags" this year (see Hollywood). (31.10.2020)
