Review
Yeah, yeah... this is totally not a film I thought I would like so much (notice the use of the word "film" here - not "movie", but "film"). It was a drama, which normally makes me cringe a bit on the inside. If you have read any of my other reviews, you know I am all about Sci-Fi, action movies, and trillers.
So, why did I like this so much? IT HAD NORMAL PEOPLE DOING NORMAL THINGS NORMALLY, YET I WANTED TO WATCH IT!!!!
Don't take my statement to mean it was like reality TV. Far from (I am not a fan of reality TV by the way). It was just amazing acting and directing that pulled you in and, despite the somewhat slow pace of the movie, glued you to the screen. I was so impressed with the kids acting ability. I have to admit that I feel in love with Neckbone. Well done little guy!
When the gun fight broke out, I cheered on the inside. Having some of my favorite type of movie staples - gun shots, things blowing up, etc... - made the film even better. And I cried a little.
If you haven't see this, rectify this issue immediately!!!
