“Paid less than the price of a rental for the DVD, but it was clearly printed from a VHS tape in mediocre condition. The editing was brutal, but Iu0026#39;m not sure that it was the tapeu0026#39;s fault, I think the software used to master the DVD was crap. The result is a very chopped (jarring) feeling … I felt like the last 10 seconds of every major segment was lost.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnyway … the acting is quite good in my opinion. Christian Slater gives a good account of himself, but itu0026#39;s another dark performance, which is his specialty. The girl emotes well, as does the mother. All in all, I found it easy to get and stay in the story.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe plot is pretty standard, but since it is based on true events, it would be kind of hard to criticize on that anyway. I have to say that I enjoyed it. It is certainly worth the low price being charged these days, especially if you like Christian Slater.”
