Very well documented praise ...

Rating: 9/10 (4 November 2009)

I haven't seen the short movie this is based on and which apparently impressed Peter Jackson enough to pull some weight, so that this first-time director (at least full length wise), could get a decent budget to realise his dream. Of course that also brings quite a few haters, who say this isn't a first time project if you get to play with that much money ...
But a) you have to earn that and b) you have to know how to handle that money. And here is a young new talent that shows promise. The movie, that wasn't exactly how I imagined it, but managed to exceed my (high) expectations! It's more for adults though, not so much because of the violence level, but because of the social commentary that surrounds the whole story/movie.
