That said, I will give props to Max von Sydow who was amazing.Wendell Ottleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8298595065944154667.post-43078077330648525222014-06-24T18:31:44.806-04:002014-06-24T18:31:44.806-04:00I thought the movie was well made, and I felt some...I thought the movie was well made, and I felt some sympathy with Thomas Horn's character, considering what he went through. But I think I see where you're coming from as well, some parts of the story was very unbelievable, for instance.. If some random kid you've never seen before rings your doorbell, you're not going to just let him in and "get to know him". Of course,in a way, that clears up towards the end when Sandra Bullock's character admits to having made the rounds ahead of him to warn everybody.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02307329021974601533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8298595065944154667.post-32290313354233058322014-06-24T18:18:59.727-04:002014-06-24T18:18:59.727-04:00Good review Mike.

Especially the kid, who I felt was so annoying.Dan O.http://www.dtmmr.comnoreply@blogger.com
