It's a good storyline, allegedly based on a true story. But a weak script, bad acting and weak directing drag this way down.

It is watchable but due to the stiffness of the acting it is painful at times. They are not helped at all by the simplistic, spoon-feeding script that tells you verbatim everything they want to convey to you rather than letting you figure it out from the story.

Casting very attractive women as street level hookers may have made it pleasant on the eyes but it dealt a serious blow to the realism of the story. Which, basically, is indicative of the whole presentation and sums up the movie.

Watching this, you'll either hate it, or love it. It is low budget, and often outright awful in its language, and yet, the acting and immersing moments seem to shine through. Sure, it could have been made better, better actors/actresses and more money spent on props etc, but the violence and scenes were for me just right. The two young girls were the stars, and the overall scenery was fulfilling as a pleasant backdrop. I wouldn't watch this twice, but i do feel, that to have seen it once was worth my time and i would recommend this to anyone over the age of 17 or 18. i loved the scene with the furry friend, kind of apt to have such a normal happening in a world all messed up

Hidden message in this film. How can a trashy person bring a beautiful soul into this world? How can an emotionally beat up and physically and sexually abused little girl walk out of the darkness of Hell unscathed? A heart of GOLD. This film brings Hell and Heaven together seen through an innocent child's eyes as she navigates her way towards the light. Her brother mimics her resilience. Courage to fight for goodness. "Heart of a lion." God and his army of angels from Heaven above. A film about good and evil. Choosing to be good and how Love always wins.
