"5.1 new Smartly directed movie with good performances by lead actors. In fact, Andrew Garfield was one reason why I wanted to watch this movie, after he performed well in Never Let Me Go and The Social Network too. Anyway I liked the (sad) atmosphere of movie and don't really have nothing to complain about. A good movie."

They both shine here and I must say that the sober directing was really effective as well. It is definitely a gloomy and pessimist flick which shows that basically, there is no redemption for children killers. Actually, when you think about it, almost nobody would forgive anyone for sure a crime and that's maybe the weakest point of this movie. They show in details how twisted and damaged Philip was but Eric comes up as rather innocent and, in my opinion
