I don't know how to rate this....

Rating: 8/10 (12 May 2014)

First of all, I have to say this is an excellent movie, and I found it to be gripping from start to finish. I am not going to write a synopsis of what the story is about either, as there are 200+ reviews ahead of me.
My 4th grade son, has been reading this book in his classroom, and asked if we could watch this movie. I felt that since he is reading it in school, it must be an "OK" movie to watch. I was very wrong.
The movie is emotionally gripping, pretty much from start to finish; but in my opinion, a 9 or 10 year old does not need to see a movie like this, not because it's not a great movie, but because of the ending. I'm a full grown adult, and two weeks after watching and I still cannot get the images out of my mind, and this is a fictional movie.
Honest to goodness, I cannot believe how this movie ended. I've never been so emotionally devastated by a movie like this ever. My kids walked away OK, but I walked away angry. I cried like crazy through "Passion of the Christ", and was very emotionally moved, but this one, just killed me inside. Maybe I should give it a 10 for bringing out so much emotion, I don't know.
