My Boys Are Good Boys (1978)

An American crime drama directed by Bethel Buckalew.
A group of boys in a juvenile institution plan and execute the robbery of an armored car.
The opening theme song was extremely bad. They took what should have been a folk song and added overpowering synthesizers to it. The characters and most of the plot were indicative of a style that would typify the early '80s in comedy and adventure films. For most of the duration, I thought the plot was going alright and liked the style and characters. When the film came to an end, I was shocked by the inconclusiveness. Most of the subject matter in the plot was left hanging and what seemed to be minor plot elements finished the film. I'm rating this o.k. because of the ending. If it had ended more conclusively, it would have gotten adequate or better.
