This is a really poor effort. Within five minutes I could tell it was going to be bad but I stuck with it until the end. OK, I admit that I did skip a couple of chapters towards the end of the DVD and this did help matters. It has the feel of a school project about it and feels very low key. The story is just terrible as this is one of those films that you expect to get better and it doesn't. I picked this up for a £1 and I feel I was robbed.

The boy is OK but certainly not great and the movie just fails completely as a whole. What is the reason that the institution to treat the kids like they do? It's never explained. Avoid.
