    If it sounds like a dud, looks like a dud, it is a dud.

    The actors who are upset at the low rating of 2.1 (the worst I have seen) seem to think people didn't understand or thought it was something else.

    It is always something else that is the problem, not the screenplay not the directing not the bad acting.

    Really, have they never seen anything of quality and said to themselves maybe the public (who are the final arbiter) is right on this one, it sucks!!!

    No amount of complaining can make bad directing or acting any better than what it is, perhaps a few acting classes and a better director might help if they get another chance.

    Ed Wood, you're off the hook...

    I'm speechless as to just how horrible this film is in every aspect. From the direction to the acting to the script...all far below an amateur effort.

    The story content itself is questionable, especially after listening to the filmmaker, whom I had the displeasure of meeting after a screening of this piece of garbage. I'm sorry, i don't usually like to point fingers, but i'm highly suspicious as to whether the parents were mistreating their child or not.

    The victim in all of this is the poor child, AJ. One, because he was clearly the victim of some form of mistreatment, and two because his director father has exploited that mistreatment and following controversy to make what amounts to little more than a psychotic hateful rant against the government.

    And i've just heard that they have made a sequel to this film?! You can't get much lower than exploiting the poor child a second time, just because you got a few tongues wagging with the first outing.

    This film is like giving a camera to serial pest Peter Hore and seeing what he comes up with.

    Terrible.
