Perhaps this movie deserves a better rating from me, like an 8. The sentiments are certainly there, however, although it held my interest to the end, it definitely had some painfully slow and drawn out moments. Nonetheless, that included and the low budget, I felt that it serves its purpose beautifully. Wholesome in general, tarnished only by the all too convincingly portrayed antagonist, it's an interesting feel good movie that I strongly recommend to any Christian Bale fan (and John Hurt was amazing as always), as long as you know not to expect an action or the sort.
