The opening 5 minutes of this film are good it draws you into Bales character. What happens after that is sub standard. Acting & dialogue are very poor. Bales character really is scary looking but cannot live up to himself as a result of this film being directed toward a very young audience. Sutch a waste of acting talent involved in this film presumably being paid for theyre efforts, as if they need the money. I worry for the future of cinema as a result of films like this. Unless you have very young children then avoid at all costs.
