Katie Garvey:
Daddy, what's the greatest thing you ever saw? Ben Garvey:
Greatest thing you ever saw. Umm. One time when I was a little boy, I was playing with my slingshot and I saw this Jaybird. I don't know why but I shot him. Katie Garvey:
You killed a birdie? Ben Garvey:
I didn't mean to. I don't even know why I shot at him, but I felt so bad, I started praying to God that he would come back. And all of a sudden the Jaybird woke up. He just flew away. Katie Garvey:
God saved him? Ben Garvey:
Yeah, I think so.
User Review
a haunting drama
Rating: 7/10
a psychological thriller that will make you think from the the
beginning to the end. although a bit slow in the first parts to the
middle, thats why its a psychological thriller, the climax to the end
compensated for it.
the lines are well delivered, a good script, all in all, a good movie.
the acting's pretty convincing, particularly the way the lead actor
tracks down the roots of his dilemma and the way he acted on it. i just
gave it a seven coz, as i have said, the first parts makes me sleepy.
just keep in mind that this in not for those who liked fast paced or
some such types of movies.
