This movie is a powerful movie message wise, acting wise, camera shots are gorgeous but i had only one problem and that's the editing. There are shots that last way longer then it should of been. Also i think what could of benefited this movie is learning more about our main heroes life, and then like after 20 minutes we get on the ship, because we know very little about him and his family.
However my biggest issue with this film is the ending. Im sorry but the percentage of that happening in a situation where our main hero was, is just impossible. You are going to tell me that a 14 y old is capable of beating up 3 guys in their 30s. The whole movie lost it's build up, of a kid leaving his family, and get in a worse position.
The kid attacking the 3 guys was totally out of left field and feels like the writers had no idea how to end the movie, so they force fed us this ending. Minus the ending, everything else works. I enjoyed the film i just did not enjoy the ending. Yes of course im happy that he survived and he got back on this land, it's just that scenario does not seem how this movie would end.
I mean if you like revenge films like I spit on your grave, Hobo with shotgun, Thriller Cruel Picture, but in a slower tone, because this is a slow movie, where everything slowly builds up to a climax, you might enjoy this. I did, except i wish we had a bit more depth to our characters, and the ending is totally pulled me out.
According to the wikipedia page, the movie is based on a true story. However, i can not find anywhere source on what this movie is based truly on. I'd like to know. I just did not expect the main hero to attack those 3.
