One of the most realistic and very touching movies ever made. I just wanted hug Nathan, the title character and not let go. Branden Nadon's performance was incredible for such a handsome young man with no acting experience. Wish I could see more performances by this talented actor. 5 stars for this heart touching film. Thank you Dave Schultz for an incredible film.

Touching story and fantastic acting by the main characters. Credit to the director for an incredible first movie.

Outstanding performance by Brandon Nadon, very surprised to see he's been in little else.

Really good movie but Mr Schultz used a sledge hammer to make his points at times when he could have let innuendo do the work. I think the very direct language at times detracted from the quality of the film. It isn't necessary be so explicit! The director may think of it as realism but one has to remember that the point of making a movie is to make money for the investors and not to feed anyone's ego trip. Still, it was a good movie and I enjoyed it. Fine acting by both Nadon and Dylan Walsh. Gave me a whole new appreciation of Walsh.

brilliant acting by novice branden nadon fully supported and helped along by his superb co-stars dylan walsh who really helped the boy become a child star! generous of time and spirit dw: so well done. kelly rowan was also an excellent sexy mom and lloyd did his bit too. i have seen the movie many times and get something new from it each time. david shultz is a great writer and director and saw something special in bn for the hustler's role: bn's soft and husky but gentle boy's haunting voice was perfect for the part and his fleeting but convincing innocence and natural grace, clear speech and facial expressions all helped as well. convincing performance and portrayal especially when na

I cant believe how good this movie is...how come all the gem movies are the hidden ones?! Fantastic to see Dylan Walsh in such a different role to Sean McNamara! Thought he was brilliant.

User review rating: 0 October 10, 2007

Exceptional film starring a wonderful young actor, Brandon Nadon, who plays the role of a young street hustler supporting his mother's heroine habit. Through his tragic life, he hooks up with what appears to be a drug dealer (Boon), but will stop here, since there is a happy ending...but won't give it away. A must to see.

When I started watching this movie, I was exhausted & not really into seeing the whole thing. But it engrossed me & my husband, horrified me, and I was amazed at the boy`s acting ability. Great movie, shows you don`t need tons of $ to make an engrossing movie.

great movie

User review rating: 0 May 16, 2006

I enjoyed this movie. The movie take sensitive material and humanizes its elements to where you can only hope things work out for the lost characters. There were some ambitious sequences that could have been better developed, but the leading of the characterization was well done. Nadon was amazing not only for how well he handled the role, but this was his first feature (I think first acting job as well). Walsh was good, but it felt often that he was always a good guy trying to be tough--meaning his affectionate scenes were believable, while his tough-as-nails scenes were less so. The two played off each other well and I think it would be fun

Ithink that jet boy is the best movie ever and that i think that brandeb=n is so hottttt!!!!!!!

User review rating: 0 March 09, 2005

A film that haunts with it`s understated trauma and almost hidden disturbances that is excellently acted, especially by Walsh and Nadon. In the face of deeply troubled childhoods, personalities contrive to affect a human bond of dependency that is free from superficial emotionalism and harsh in it`s realities. Good script. Good photography, excellent acting.

A very good movie which relates to real life stories.

User review rating: 0 March 08, 2004

Jet Boy was the best movie i have ever seen. The acting of Dylan Walsh and Branden Nadon was incredible, and i hope to see that new amazing young actor go far with his work. i wonder if Branden has gone through what Nathan has, because he played the part so well. It all amazes me, good work Branden keep it up

Jet Boy is a real good move and has a good story and is pretty easy to follow and it has a good even flow through out the whole film from begining to end

User review rating: 0 August 26, 2003

If this was set in 1963 it would have been my life except for the sweet ending.That came 40 years later.It was SO real and true to the subject matter.The boy who played Nathon is such a good actor and it is scary that someone so young could portray so realistically this subject matter.I will try to find a copy of this movie to give to my children so they get a better understanding of who I am and where i came from.Haunting more than freddy vs jason.
