Don't waste your time with this boring film.
8 March 2005
The premise would appear to be...

take a 5 minute news story within which you can impart all the facts and then spin it out into a most boring and dull film.

There was really no point to making this film, and even less point in my watching it through to the end.

Whenever you see 'based on true facts' or similar it should start the alarm bells ringing in your head that someone somewhere has had the great idea (or more realistically, they have had no original idea) to turn an extremely sad story of child neglect into a film, give it a catchy title and some meaty trailers and let it loose on an unsuspecting public. This was indeed the case here, so be warned.

The filmmaker will no doubt go onto do some needless dreadful remakes of classic films.
