    I thought this was good and it was pretty Interesting.The story was kind of slow and sad but most of it was entertaining.I did find that some parts were a bit boring and a bit too slow for my liking but eventhough this isn't a very popular film it should entertain most audience....( read more)I thought that the storyline was very well thought and was different but it perhaps could of been done in more detail.
    I thought the acting was okay that wife and the sister acted great but I did think that the police officers acted bad at times because they gave some pretty stupid advice and in real life I can't believe police giving that kind of advice.
    Overall this story was pretty sad and emotional but I still thought that it was over average and was delivered pretty well.It could of been better but its still worth checking out.

    This movie was so beautiful. It had such an interesting plot, there was romance, everything was so artistically done, it had a great message and the action scenes were amazing!!!
