...or much insight.
Even the title's completely misleading as clearly the 2 parents never got round to really talking about Kevin, or more to the point, talking to Kevin?
When this movie eventually allows the mother to ask her 'troubled' son the question we were all asking and wanting to know the answer to, the kid's reply was well empty of any rhyme or reason. Just to add insult to the injury of 100 minutes of tedium, the mother walks out of the darkness of the prison into bright sunshine, inferring that all has been revealed to her??
As to whether you want to believe (or comprehend) that he's undertaken his killing spree with a bow and set of arrows or that he's killed both his father and sister in the garden with arrows - well it's difficult trying to imagine anybody standing still as an arrow is fired at them?!
This movie could have given so much more insight into the reasons why disaffected youth do what they do or championed the case for greater gun control to avoid the next Columbine High. I suspect the subtle argument that's being woven here is that bows and arrows can inflict the same carnage as guns and rifles? Well no - they can't and don't.
Next Time - Hollywood?
