...is who is the expected audience? I don't think children would understand much of it. Teens wouldn't be interested. And most adults would opt for something totally different. It seems to me that this film had no audience. And the box office receipts would bear that out.
Of course, I'm odd. So I found one redeeming quality in the movie -- the acting. The child actors here were remarkable. Jordan Nash in particular. I could even tolerate Angelina Jolie here. And I continue to be impressed by David Oyelowo.
And then, suddenly, after an often slow pace, the ending of the movie rushes to completion leaving one feeling as if the story isn't finished.
The concept had possibilities...never fulfilled.
I will say one thing. Those who dislike race-neutral movies...that's just too bad. I support the concept for FICTIONAL movies.
