Der Thriller “Boot Camp” fesselt schnell durch seine Thematik. Mich hat der Film nach wenigen Minuten in seinen Bann gezogen und bis zur letzten Minute nicht mehr losgelassen. Eine spannende Geschichte, gepaart mit tollen Darstellern machen den Film zu einem wirklich sehenswerten Film.

A fictionalized “true” story about what happens in tough love boot camps, this movie was saved and upgraded to a 3 star by the hotness of Mila Kunis.
