August 23, 2007Well!What can I say?! This movie is one of the best that I have ever seen!!But the thing is while Osment's acting was good(I love him)Liam Hess's acting was much much better(Tolo boy,that plays the Christ part and goes to the train).I think that Liam Hess, if he never quits acting will be one of the best in his generation.It's already written in the internet about him that he is one of the Leading British actors in his generation.I love Liam Hess,and of course not to forget William Defoe,amazing!!!
