    Not a good movie,nothing new

    The movie starts to role with suspense and ends terribly.The movie has the same villain-hero concept.At the end, we can expect what is going to happen.The concept of the movie is good a hero for the daughter.It showcases the child abuse and its aftermath.Highly doubt the background is music is copied from somewhere.
