Does that "Starts in the middle of the action the flashes back to the start" thing that crops up sometimes, which I don't really like in movies. I think it works well for the ocassional episode of television and **sometimes** works out in mystery films, but even then, usually not. In a regular movie it mostly just feels like either they didn't have faith that their movie could keep audiences interested until the action kicks off later on, or they just can't figure out a decent way to start their movie off. Maybe both.
Anyway, trying to pass off Josh Hutcherson as a brutish bad boy is fuckin' laughable and this whole thing is woefully under-explored. Can't think of anything quite like it I've seen before though, so points for that.
_Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
