3.0 out of 5 stars
I expected it to be better., 29 April 2003
By A Customer
I recently rented this DVD from a library, so it only cost me £2.50 and lets just say, I was glad i rented it and didnt buy it. I had seen the previews for the film and as they do in all previews, they made it look very good and worth watching. However, when i watched it, I noticed that alot of the clips that they showed in the preview, were not in the actual film, it was as if the film makers had gone through and cut bits out to make it shorter. Which they really didnt need to do because once it finished, i found it was an extremely short film anyways!The overall plot is very good, with the fact that the kid saw his stepdad murder someone, and then set out to prove he was telling the truth, even when his own father didnt believe him. With a plot that strong they could have easily made it a spectacular film, but i just get the feeling that they hurried it all along so that they got to the end as fast as possible. So overall, a good film, a good watch, but could have been much better if it had a little more time given to it. The DVD extras arent exactly thrilling either. Aside from the theatrical trailer, a commentary, storyboard and a few lame deleted scenes, there is not much that makes the DVD better than the video. But overall, the film itself was a fairly enjoyable watch I must say. Just dont buy it is my advice, rent it.
