Australian cinema has a rich history of exploring the darker corners of human nature through crime movies. In fact, the Australian crime movie The Story of the Kelly Gang, released in 1906, was the world's first full-length narrative feature film. From the sunburned outback to the shadowy corners of the suburbs, Australian filmmakers have consistently delivered movies that are as raw as they are riveting, as they explore societal issues.
The Boys is based on a play influenced by the 1986 real life murder of Anita Cobby. The Boys' portrayal of toxic masculinity is both intense and realistic, especially through Brett, who creates a cycle of fear, manipulation, and escalating violence in order to assert dominance over his brothers. The Boys utilizes a slow-burn tension, and focuses on psychological dread, which might not be for everybody, but it works so well for a movie exploring toxic masculinity and family dysfunction.

Some of the consequences and events in the third act may be a bit predictable.
