The acting and plot lines were OK. But, the "imagery" was over done and simply not good enough to merit all the screen time given imagery. As for me, I will pay to see some spectacular scenery, but video imagery is a lot like poetry. Something that is really only enjoyed by most in small doses. And, sorry to say for the filmmaker, here it is just not good enough to give so much time to.
I saw Avatar. Its imagery is so amazing you can watch it for a good part of the movie and be entertained. This movie wants its imagery to be that good, but, it isn't.
The plot then is rather predictable and the results, except for the means the protagonist is ultimately "handled", just goes along without any great suspense or anticipation.
Such a loss is tragic in a family. And it never hurts for audiences to be reminded such things do happen. So, go see the movie for that.. and good acting. But, don't expect much else.
