needless killing of children for shock value

Rating: 1/10 (6 September 2013)

Killing children in movies for the shock value like this is unforgivable. In this movie it actually adds nothing to the plot or to the movie as a whole. Its simply Bruce Willis shooting an innocent child. I really liked the concept of the movie and at points it was clever but it is completely ruined by such a shock value stunt. Im actually quite surprised that this film in the uk is only a 15 because of this. My additional comments on this movie is that the young bruce willis character played by Joseph gordon levitt is just not believable which is disappointing as he was excellent in the movie brick which was also directed by rian johnson and is a really great film. It was by watching brick that made me want to see more of this directors work but now i am completely put off.
