Alex D. Linz, the brightest rising star., 17 February 2002
10/10
Author: (tristanbills)

I had my doubts at first, but as the movie progressed I was in awe of the story being told.

The box-art says it all, totally original. Believe me, there are times in your life when you just want to do something different, or a time when you just don't care what people think.

I would recommend this movie to everyone.

Alex D. Linz is great in this movie. Showing unsurpassed talent for a boy his age.
