CGiii Comment

A valiant little film.

It certainly looks good...but, it is let down by some particularly weak writing.

There was meat to this story...unfortunately, the filmmakers chose to focus on the bone rather than the marrow...if they had gone deeper and, coupled with the obvious technical ability, a fine film could have been the result.

The final scene - a wasted opportunity.
