Coming of age

Rating: 9/10 (23 July 2014)

I think this film shows the main character played by Elijah Wood as being a passive dude who is toughened up from his experiences with the hooliganism to face the person who set him up towards the end. It shows how you can't let things slip away all the time. You have always got to face your challenges, no matter how big they seem. He acknowledges this when he says "There's a time to stand your ground" and "There's a time to walk away". I hated that Harvard preppy who set him up. When he got his just desserts at the end it showed how the powerful become weak, and how the weak become powerful. It really irritates me how others who are well off try taking advantage of people who are not so fortunate.
