Simply Amazing
Reviewer: The Critic
Date: 01/04/2008
Words cannt describe how excellent I think the film in question is. The effort put in to capture the two very contrasting lives of the two 12 year old boys - Will, a Bretheren with a dream of abandoning his strict way of life and Carter, a rebellious living with his uncaring elder brother.
The two coincidentally end up becoming good friends and with the provided equipment, aspire to create a movie based on the well known film Rambo First Blood. The level of acting by Milner (Will) and Poulter (Carter) could not be any higher and I could not find a single criticism in the whole film.
Definitely a one for the whole family!
