Twist ending that does not twist so much.

Rating: 1/10 (2 August 2004)

When I was very young our teacher read us a book called The Giver. I think it won the newbury medal. Anyways this movie was sort of similar to that only really bad. This guy is a much better director than a writer. The ending is so obvious so as to not be obvious. In other words you'll be like "aha" like 30 minutes in, and then realize that that would be way too stupid for a movie this long, and then you realize that you were right, and then the movie ends 30 minutes later. If you're going to watch it, only watch the first 30 minutes, they're pretty good and you don't need to see how it ends. Really, some good performances, good camera-work, story is crap. I really expected a lot out of it, but it was very bad.
