brilliant actors, brilliant editing

The first must-see film of the year.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I have to say this movie especially caught my attention with the scenic environments and creative camera work. Mandie Gillette's role was the best throughout the film and she plyed it without flaw. Young ones should particularly enjoy the film as it has no extreme violence, language, or adult content. It was nice to see a film that could be something worth watching with children instead of being bored to death or having to tell them to leave the room. Good flick.

A good little action film for kids 7 - 12 years. Lots of action without sex or bad language although there is a fairly explicit fist fight. The plot is easy to follow for kids and the photography is excellent. I saw it with a group of about 150 kids who all loved it. Some found it a little scary in places.

This movie should have been done for T.V. The acting and character development was weak and the plot very thin. A much made over plot about mothers and daughters finding themselves with a title that has nothing to do with the content of the movie. A waste of a video rental.
