THE COVENANT
It’s Covenan-terrific !!
HOLLYWOOD - If you’re looking to go to Hell - a hell of a good movie, that is, and don’t know witch - one to see, make a deal with the devil to see The Covenant - it’ll be the best damned deal you ever made!
At the exclusive Spenser boarding school, four young hottie boys - is that all right? You young kids, help me out: do you call attractive young men “hotties,” or would “hottems” be better? At any rate, these four young hottems have it all - popularity, girls and supernatural powers. They can get babes and crash cars without getting hurt, which is the dream of every college man. They’re descendants of several generations of hotties reaching back to Pilgrim times in Ipswich, when the original hottem families made a covenant to remain powerful and attractive - forever! but there’s one problem - a fifth hottem comes to town with even more powerful powers to get more babes and crash more cars, and he’s bent on destroying the other four!
There was absolutely nobody I’d ever heard of in this cast, and they all did a terrific job. You might recognize one or two from their various roles in John Tucker Must Die; I didn’t. Director Renny Harlin brings a master’s touch to this , adrenaline-popping, eye-pumping non-stop thrill ride, bringing the same magic we saw in films like Cliffhanger, Cutthroat Island and the first version of the last Exorcist movie.
The Covenant keeps its promise! It’s the year’s best thriller about late-adolescent supernatural wizards in private colleges! See it or suffer the consequences!
