The story rolls out in just the right pace, keeping the focus to live up to the title, making the viewers assume the good things. Yet the twist comes and crashes all expectations. I like how the plot diverts the viewers' expectations from anticipating something good into getting curious about what will happen next. Yet the twist comes in a less surprising manner that it doesn't really depict the big disaster impacted on Erik's character. I like how the later parts of the movie where Erik reconciles his relationship with his son. Despite the child depicted here is a kid, the scenes will serve as a good educational material for teens and older children in the matters of trust and family relations. Although I must also say that the family content doesn't really focus up until near the end of the movie. Josh Hartnett acted just an average performance here in my opinion. Yet I like how Samuel L. Jackson get into character, making up the voice for the homeless champ. Kathryn Morris and Dakota Goyo did a nice job in giving the live on the family scenes that this movie critically needed.
