THIS IS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

Warning: Spoilers
Brad (P.J. Boudousqué) is sent by his mom to a private boot camp prison as he has become out of control through his drug dealing and rebellion in general. While he is not an unusually bad kid, he is placed in a privately owned camp run by Colonel Frank Reichert (James C. Burns) a former Marine Colonel. As expected the abuse starts out slow and builds to a climax of no return.

The film is told with some flashbacks as we discover Brad's personal life and associates. Later the film utilizes flashbacks for dramatic effect as it shows us a scene and then later uses a flashback to explain it. The film has a good build up. It masquerades as a film that is somehow critical of the unregulated industry, but only does so with a fictional tale. In that regard it has similarity to a Lifetime style film. P.J. Boudousqué was less than convincing in his role which was written rather cardboard for a lead character.

Parental Guide: F-bomb. Male rear nudity. Torture/blood.
