I had mixed feelings, after seeing "The Island on Bird Street".
The boy playing Alex was great, it was a very good choice not to portray him as some kind of hero, but just as a frightened, yet ingenious boy. Watching him really made this movie worth while. But, except for the boy's character, the director only used cliches. It would have been a much better movie if he would have evaded them. My vote: for the movie 6 out of 10, for the boy 9 out of 10!
