Crimen involuntario

I don't get how anyone gives this movie a diss review. I thought it was awesome. The actors were really good and the movie looks really cool with lots of cool scenes. The only thing I didn't get is why they released the dvd full frame when the movie was obviously really widescreen when it was shot. The guy who directed the movie made it look as good as any movie I ever see in the theaters, hands down. I think maybe the people who don't like it don't like seeing kids swearing but that's how kids talk and this movie seemed really to know what it's like to be a teenager these days. If you're going to get your panties in a bun because of the violence or swearing then go watch Lassie. I like finding movies that other people miss and Blast was great. Liesel Matthews is a hottie. The director Martin Schenk did a realistic slick movie about how teens are without making all the teens in the movie more interesting than most teens really are. It's what i hate about most teen movies because none of my friends talk the way they do on shows like Gilmore Girls when they sound the same as the adults do.

This is a complete rewrite of my earlier review.

I purchased this disk, and Air Force One, as a follow up to A Little Princess (1995), which I find to be a remarkable story, if with a few massive flaws. That has one of the finest soundtrack scores by Patrick Doyle and fascinating acting by such as Liesel Matthews. My first comment was totally carried away by that.

I find the story evocative of Buffy series, the earlier episodes. The feel of the romance angles. The movement of the plot. Just it takes that in a very different direction. If Buffy can be considered as escapist fantasy, then this is more real world fantasy. On that level I prefer this to Air Force One, which is a polished and fun and big budget type action story linked to a rather right wing plot.

My first DVD was 2.35 original trimmed down to 1.33 old television size, 29.970fps region 1. I now have the same thing in region 2, 25fps, hence a slightly better image definition. I assume that there is zero chance of this ever becoming available as full 2.35.

The filming is likely done in Oregon. IMDb trivia mentions the rail track as being in the Nehalem valley at Vernonia. More rugged than Twilight type country, and maybe less rain.

I loved the film, the film had good music, good style, the acting was very realistic, the kids were actually like 16 yrs. old kids not some adults playing kids. Good story. I must say that this film was very entertaining the whole way through. I especially like the first song..hmm ..I wonder why

I rented this from my local video store, not expecting much, but I was really surprised. This movie was thoughtful, smart, had great acting and had a genuine emotional depth I hardly ever see in these kinds of films. It also seemed very well directed. Although I'm no expert, I thought it looked a whole lot better than most movies I see in the theaters. It made me think of Stand By Me, as if these were the same characters a little older and in a different time. I liked how the writer tried to make a point about how small miscommunications can grow into disasters. Watching the movie, you can pick out lots of places where a bit of honesty between the characters would have averted the bigger troubles to come. Overall, it seemed pretty ambitious for a independent movie.

Well, the star of the movie in my opinion is yes, Blake Heron. I gave this movie a ten because of the performance of Mr.Heron. Now, because of this performance I have seen his other credits and a T.V Series "Rescue 77" caught my eye. In this he played a disturbed teenager. Who goes psycho at school with a rifle. It was a small part yet he made it come to life. He really puts 100% into his characters. My conclusion is that there is something remarkable about this young man.
