1. Quality

2. Summary

   OK 2.5

   This movie has a great storyline: a raped murdered 14 year old girl telling her story from the soft-of-afterlife and somehow seeing to it that justice is done. In fact, several parts of the movie holds your interest because you want to put the pieces together. Unfortunately, the movie moves so darn slowly and drifts around so much that it is hard to really identify with its characters.

4. Acting

   Very Good 3.5

   Loved the cast. Rachel Weisz did well with what she had, as did the obviously dramatic Wahlberg. Susan Sarandon was Ok, but kudos goes to Stanley Tucci who deserved his Oscar nomination for this one!

5. Male Stars Very Good 3.5

6. Female Stars Very Good 3.5

7. Female Costars Very Good 3.5

8. Male Costars Very Good 3.5

10. Film

    Barely OK 2.0

    I hate to say it, but Jackson blew it with LB….. many people faulted this movie with an overdone CGI generated wispy afterlife rendition, but I think the movie’s main fault is its lack of focus.
