Too Mature for Kids, Too Childish for Adults

Rating: 5/10 (20 October 2011)

First of all, I was impressed by the acting of the kids in this movie. Simply amazing. However, everything else left me less-than-impressed.
The plot was one-dimensional and predictable. The directing was predictable...in the sense that by the use of sound and camera angles you knew what was coming because it has been done so many times before.
The premise of the film was suitable for children, and it would have been a great kids' movie if it weren't for the unnecessary mature language and themes.
But the intense scenes and action aren't enough to hold an adult's attention, so there is a very narrow demographic that would enjoy this film.
