I never even knew it was a Spike film!!!!
27 May 2009
Hardly there are a handful of films that can bring shortness of breath and bring tears from my eyes!!! This film based solely on pure imagination centered on the spiritual and sometimes weird beliefs of people, forces your own common sense to accept the unthinkable: That miracles and imaginary people are something we can believe on, when we so choose to.

The emotional stress claims first row not sooner than the few first scenes take center stage. A senseless act of violence with little to support it leaves an empty taste to viewers, which are trying to think with natural logic and mental coherence seeking grips.

As the story is unfurls, the sense of lost disappears soon after we're taken into a recall mode. One that's like taking a five lane highway and compressing all that energy into a single one.

Spike plays with our emotions, just as some entertainment parks seek explosions of adrenaline with their twisting rides.

By the very end of the film one can hardly contain the emotions emanating, just as we were part of the four providing a way out to such fragile and innocent kid. We're shocked as to how can there be any possibility, that this first violent act could have been the actual doing of a survivor for the story.

If one ever wondered about the possibility of a film cascading each category we base such productions on, this is one of the few to ever try that formula and succeed where others failed.

For a short time, even the viewer will toss away common sense and want to believe as well.
