At first I didn't have a clue what sort of movie this would be. But when the ending credits rolled I kept watching as I did expect another joke.
The joke wasn't funny ... but even unfunny jokes can grow on you It deals with a pretty serious issue but it doesn't address the issue really. I don't like my movies to spell out things what we should think. Some movies do, but it should deserve a little more attention than it did.
The first action scene was solid and the climax of the movie was a good watch as well.
The best part of the movie is however the flashback to when he was a boy and in particular the one where special effects where used especially the flower.
That also had a nice narrative to it.
I did like the overall direction and despite that I think not all scenes should be in it, I think the director has a great feel for storytelling
So only a 6 because it wasn't funny and it missed the opportunity to address an issue. Acting was again great from both woman and the child in the movie.
The car owner was good as well. But the other actors could do with some more direction.
Will gladly watch the second one as some brainless entertainment.
