Not that great

Rating: 5/10 (14 January 2007)

It's got an intriguing premise, but what is the point of this movie? We get nearly two hours of unrelenting dreariness, a smattering of intense action, and no explanation or resolution. It attempts a commentary/warning of current social events, but surely that's not the reason for the film? It DOES succeed in making you think about the preciousness of little children and what they mean to our society and race, but that's a necessary product of the plot, not something the movie focuses on. I understand this was "unfaithfully" adapted from a good book that had a religious message. I can believe that. This film is highly overrated on IMDb. If you've seen the previews, you've seen the movie.
