ok well this film is a dark film in my eyes, in some parts of the film it can be upsetting i would say watch this film when the kids are in bed.

when 15 year old Howie (Paul Franklin Dano) when his lifes falls apart around him when his mother dies.

and his delinquent friend skips town howie meets up with ex -marine Big john (Brian Cox) howie then discovers the real secret that binds his friend to this mysterrious man .

i did like the film but i did find it very slow .from start to end

A fantastic dark film which really isn't afraid to push the boundaries. Quite disturbing at points, definitely not one for the kids.
