Truly Amazing Movie!!! A Must See!!!, 24 June 2012
Author: Luke Reeves from Earth

Magnificent movie, with films like this being made, it's hard to understand why so many bad films are still being produced.

This movie is the perfect example for the winning combination ALL! directors/producers/writers should be aiming for.

The winning combination consisting of the following:

>>> Good solid actors

>>> Awesome photography

>>> Simple effective script

>>> Emotional content

>>> Fluid screenplay

The ending was a little different to how I would have done it. However still a very good movie and one I will never forget!

I highly recommend this film to anyone that cares. Basically this is a MUST SEE! before you die type movie.
