Wow! I was not prepared for such an emotional movie. I should have brought tissues.

The daughter dealt some devastating blows. I have an 8-year old daughter and I couldn't imagine going through something like that with her.

Fantastic film. Great acting all around. I would have liked to see more Whitaker. Seemed like he had more to add.

A pretty good flick.

Didn't care for this thought it was just barely ok. Tried way too hard IMO to be super hardcore all the time. But to each their own, didn't hate it.
