Too much of everything

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
This movie was cute. I like the part where they dress up as girls. I think it was cute when Rider's character, Lenny was drowning and his friend saved him. It was cute when Rider taught his friend how to fight and Rider's friend taught him how to swim. I give all movies with Rider Strong in them at least 9 stars, that doesn't mean they're really that good. But honestly I love all of his movies, but it might just be the fact that Rider is hypnotizing me with those gorgeous blue bedroom eyes of his, and his fluffy flippy dippy hair, and making me think these movies are good, just because he is in it. I'm not saying these movies are bad, but maybe only people who like Rider Strong would enjoy this movie.
Teenager witnesses both of his parents murdered. He is placed into the witness protection program and given a new life. Things seem to be getting better, but one of his best friends harbors a dark secret. Undistinguishable and unmemorable thriller, but an appealing cast carries it as well as some nice life lessons and values. More entertaining then it ought to be.Rated R; Violence.
First off, this movie is not a comedy. It's very serious. Keeping that in mind, read on.Lenny is a sweet-natured orphan raised on the streets, but he's also a teenage hitman-in-training who is sent to find the only witness to a mob hit. The witness, Greg, also a teenager, is now under FBI protection and attending a prep boarding school in Montreal.Apparently Lenny's wise guy foster dad, who gave him the assignment, managed to find out where Greg was but couldn't supply a photo (the Mafia isn't as sharp as it used to be), so it's up to Lenny to enroll in the school, go to classes, participate in school activities, and figure out which kid is Greg.Right. This could happen. In real life. Yes, indeed.Then there's Lenny's dyslexia, which makes him feel bad about himself. (Training to be a hitman evidently doesn't harm his self-esteem, however.) My favorite part of the movie is when the school counsellor, having noticed that Lenny can't read, gives him a pamphlet on dyslexia for him to -- yes! READ!!
It's tough being a kid sometimes. Especially when you watch a hit-man murder both your parents in front of you in cold blood. So you're put on the Witness Protection Program. You find a friend, and it seems like maybe this world ain't so bad after all. Then it turns out that your new buddy works for your parents' killer. It all adds up to a tragic life for one kid, meaning we get to sit and watch a passable thriller for two hours.
