1/10
Come on, jump already!!!

All of the other reviewers here on IMDb are so in favour of this film. Film? I'm sorry, did I compare this pile of Horsedung to an actual FÍLM?! Must be because it's Sunday. Makes me say stupid things. Very stupid things indeed.

So the film stars this whiny kid that can't speak English because the only times we hear him talk are through voice-over. Good! The less said by him, the better. Having the boy not talk makes him the more sympathetic, but no; we hear this tearful squeaker constantly! Makes it all the more simple for me to enjoy all the horrors he's going through and malicious pleasure has never been more pleasurable.

Why? Because this story is told in the most annoying way! Bad acting, terrible cinematography, excruciatingly torturous music and sound recording/editing and all of this makes me care so little about the characters. Seriously, making this film with aforementioned components, it's like constructing the Eiffel Tower using nothing more than steel bars and paper glue! Watching this film was really atrocious. It runs, what? 85 minutes? Could've been DAYS for all I knew!

Poorly constructed, badly acted, uninteresting characterizations, appalling sound, abominable slow pace, this film has it all. All of the things I just mentioned, that is; to me, it has NOTHING appealing whatsoever!
