5/10
This movie is frankly, not good.

I must say, the other reviews here are misleading. This movie is very bad. It is not thrilling and it doesn't make much sense. Why did Ryan's girlfriend stop by the pond and drop the fish there. Why did they make such a big deal about a fish. What about the pitching and the secret places that

were hidden and concealed with a baseball. What really happened with the death of that man from the beginning restaurant scene. What was the significance of Jimmy being called Little Boy Blue? Why in the world did that "mother" stay with that evil man. What were reasons and motives? Why did Phillip and that lady have sex while that evil" father" watched. Why did that lady have those ridiculous saying while she killed that innocent blonde. Come on, the characters aside from Ryan were one dimensional and the film looked and felt really cheap. And what did Ryan feel about his relationship with his "mother". Did he know the truth about his real mother. And how long did he spend there underground. What will Ryan do now. I don't think that mother blonde had one intelligent line, one revealing line, or one interesting comment. Her only talent might have been her so- so looks. The film is slow moving and not very gripping. It is not that disturbing either. Watch this movie only for an appealing performance by Phillipe(and the sex scenes involving him), but not even he can save this dud. No wonder why it is so unheard of and unpopular. 5 out of ten. Hugely dissapointing.
