Trivia

There is a controversial love scene in the movie, where the then 13-year-old Laurien Van den Broeck is shown topless. In a 2002 interview in the RTL Boulevard TV show, she said she actually did not like to shoot the sex scene, but the cast, the director and the crew had persuaded her to do it anyway.

User Reviews

Badly written and directed movie

I totally agree with the 2005 review by the man from England. There were so many holes in this plot, if it even had one, I fast forwarded through the violence at the end as it seemed the most senseless thing in the whole movie. The men who were looking for the boy to get their drugs out of him "literally" seemed no different from the one who simply shot him and walked away in the opening scene! I am surprised he lived as long as he did with a teenager treating his bullet wound with a bandage! (and then he was running around!?)
