Ok, let's start with the good points...
1. Eddie Marsen - best actor in this film by a country mile 2. Visuals and cinematography are good.
Now the bad...
1. The dialogue is absolutely awful - no sentence of more than about 5 words and each line is spoken/shouted with really strange intonations. Seems to be dubbed and/or spoken by actors who just don't know what they are saying in English. 2. The script - a lot of the time it just does make any sense e.g. someone saying they don;t understand something when they were told it 5 minutes previously! Did anyone listen to this before it was released!! 3. All the acting (apart from Eddie Marsen of course) was wooden: no character or personality - they just barked each line of the script at each other in pseudo English (usually in a petulant manner for no obvious reason). 4. The story - apart from the start and end it simply lacked a clear direction for the most part.
In short, Eddie Marsen's great, visuals are good but if you speak English then this will be a painful experience.

Plot was reasonable and kept moving along at a fair pace with a great twist. CGI was a bit 1990s but hey; this is a TV movie so really not too bothered. Acting was generally good, however, the one thing that spoiled the movie was the constant whining and crying of those kids! They seem to be acting and wailing like 3 year olds throughout the whole first half of the movie!
