Title: A heroine without merit
Review: The premise sounded promising,but Biel in her role is completely unsympathetic,not strong and intelligent but simply brash and disrespectful,and the performance isn't particularly natural,although I have met quite a few overgrown adolescents who are just like her character,pretending their impudence is some kind of sophistication the world is simply not ready for,so I suppose her character is believable. We the audience are intended to relate to her somehow and I simply can't,nor would I want to.No one in the film really shines. It is just a collection of cliches that we are not meant to care for anyhow (aside from Colin Forth in the father role. He is written as tired soul that we are coaxed to care for...Eh. It all seemed forced to me,as if I am automatically going to take "their" side against the "empty" lot.)One thing I truly hated was the unoriginal and heartless Whoops-Dead-Dog storyline. Not amusing,quite revolting actually.
